Sotos syndrome is a relatively common overgrowth syndrome with characteristic physiognomy. We report on 3 patients with congenital heart defects out of 14 Sotos syndrome patients studied clinically and or by echocardiography.

Recurrence risks give insight into the causes of birth defects and are useful in genetic counseling. There are few populationbased studies of recurrence of birth defects for subsequent sibs with consanguineous parents. The aim of this study was to estimate and compare the recurrence risk of birth de
In a population of close to 2.5 million infants born from 1983 to 1993 registered in the California Birth Defects Monitoring Program, we compared the prevalence of structural birth defects among 2,894 infants with Down syndrome (DS) with that of infants without DS. Among 61 defects uniformly ascerta
Very little data are available from population-based studies on congenital hypothyroidism (CH) epidemiology and patterns of associated birth defects. By linking data from two population-based registries, we describe the epidemiology of CH and associated defects in Atlanta from 1979-1992. Cases inclu
