Cases diagnosed as the VACTERL Association are heterogeneous, and can involve other
associations arising from different developmental processes with midline effects. However …

This paper reports the results of the first population-based study of the aetiology of
VACTERL-association (ie, the occurrence of three or more closely defined VACTERL-type …

Most cases of the VACTERL “association”[Martínez-Frías et al., Am. J. Med. Genet. 76: 291–
296, 1998] are sporadic, with an empiric recurrence risk of 1% or less. Rare families with …

of congenital malformations including vertebral defects, anal atresia, tracheo-esophageal …

This work analyzed the incidence of risk factors in 138 cases presenting two or more of five
components defining VATERL, with no other recognized unrelated anomalies: vertebral …
