ABSTRACT
During a prospective study of [5974] consecutive birth from October 1993 to march 1994 at Basrah maternity and child hospital, 52 babies were found to have congenital malformation. Major malformations constituted 0.77% while minor anomalies constituted 0.1%. Still born was among series of births [No. 34], but only 5 showed congenital malformation [incidence 14.7%]. The defect comprised skeletal malformations [2.5/1000], central nervouse system abnormalities [1.84/1000], known syndromes [1.25/1000], uro-genital system abnormalties [1/1000], skin abnormalties [0.33/1000]. There were significant differences in incidence between those with consanguineous and non consanguineous parants. On the other hand there was no significant association with maternal age
