Co‐Occurring Non‐Cardiac Congenital Anomalies Among Cases With Congenital Heart Defects
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cases with congenital heart defects (CHD) often have other associated anomalies. The aim of this investigation was to assess the prevalence and the types of co‐occurring anomalies in CHD in a well‐defined population. The anomalies co‐occurring with CHD were ascertained in all live births, stillbirths and terminations of pregnancy for fetal ...
