Abstract
Objectives: Consanguinity has been a long standing social habit among some Iranians. This study is aimed at determining the role of consanguinity on congenital malformations and the correlation of inbreeding coefficient with anomalies. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, all the newborns who were born during 9 months period from April to December 2008. (n=1195) at Shahid Sadoughi hospital, Yazd, Iran were studied. Results: From 1195 neonates, 300 (25) were from consanguineous marriages and 895 (75) were from non-familial marriages. From 45 cases with anomalies, 34 (2.8) cases were from familial marriages, while only 11 (0.9 ) cases were from non-familial marriages. There was a significant correlation between parental marriages and the prevalence of anomaly (p=0.018). Conclusion: The prevalence of congenital anomalies was mostly observed in consanguineous marriages compared to non consanguineous marriages. © 2010, Oman Medical Specialty Board. All rights reserved.
