Perfil das anomalias congênitas em nascidos vivos de Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso, 2006-2016*

Abstract: Objective: to describe congenital anomalies (CA) among live births of mothers resident in Tangará da Serra, MT, Brazil, during the period 2006-2016. Methods: this was a descriptive study, using Brazilian Live Birth Information System (SINASC) data. Results: out of 15,689 births, 77 were registered with CA (prevalence of 4.9/1,000); there was an 80.7% increase of recorded CA in 2016, accounting for 10.3/1,000 live births, including five cases of microcephaly; CA prevalence was higher among children born to wome… Show more

“…Congenital anomalies are developmental disorders of embryonic origin, and may be structural, functional or metabolic changes in the fetus present at birth or that manifest after several years [1][2][3][4]. Inherited or acquired, their causes may be associated with genetic, environmental, physical, chemical, biological factors, or multifactorial when they are due to more than one of these factors [1,2,5]. In the majority of cases, the etiology of the congenital anomalies remains unknown.…”

“…Those of genetic origin have been investigated more and the chromosomes and malformations with Mendelian inheritance have been covered [1,6]. Those dependent on environmental factors or gene-environment interactions are more difficult to recognize because cases caused by teratogens are still poorly studied, especially in developing countries such as Brazil [1,2,6]. Some studies in Brazil show that the estimated frequency of congenital anomalies is 2% to 3% of live births [2,[6][7][8].…”
