Approximately 3% of human neonates are born with one or multiple congenital malformations (Nadler 1986). The birth of a child with a physical or mental handicap presents considerable problems with which both parents and the child must cope and raises questions about the cause. Despite our increasing knowledge of genetics and embryology, many times the answers cannot be given; the etiology of the majority of malformations is still a maze of unknowns (table; McKusick 1992; Wilson 1977).
