This paper presents a general view on congenital malformations and a summary of some anatomic, clinical, epidemiological and genetic aspects of congenital heart diseases. Some “recommendations” for research are also briefly mentioned.
This paper includes “The epidemiology of congenital cardiovascular malformations”, Human Hered., 21: 209-215, by N. Freire-Maia and B. Arce-Gomez (1971). Its present form has been written mostly at the World Health Organization, where the author stayed as a consultant during a few months, in 1972.
Our Department of Genetics receives grants from the Conselho National de Pesquisas, the World Health Organization, CAPES, the Bamerindus Foundation and the Conselho de Ensino e Pesquisas da UFPr.
Since this paper is not a review but only a summary of some epidemiological and genetic findings in CM and CHD, reference is made here to only a small fraction of the papers dealing with the subjects and which have been used in its preparation.
