Familial recurrence of anorectal malformations (ARMs) has been reported in single
institution case series and in two population-based studies. Here, we investigate the familial …

Background Anorectal malformations (ARM) are rare abnormalities that occur in
approximately 1 in 3000 live births with around 40% of patients presenting with isolated …

PURPOSE: Various lines of evidence point to genetic causes for the diverse spectrum of
anorectal malformations (ARMs); we therefore studied patterns of heritability in a large case …

Congenital anorectal malformations (ARMs) are one of the most frequently observed birth
defects of the digestive system. However, their etiology remains elusive. Therefore, we aim …

Evidence suggests that genetic factors contribute to the development of anorectal
malformations (ARMs). However, the etiology of the majority of ARMs cases remains …

Patients with congenital anorectal malformations (ARM) often have other associated
congenital defects. The reported incidence and the types of associated malformations vary …

Anorectal malformations (ARMs, congenital obstruction of the anal opening) are among the
most common birth defects requiring surgical treatment (2–5/10 000 live-births) and carry …

Anorectal malformations (ARM) represent a rare birth defect of the hindgut that occur in
approximately 1 in 3000 live births. Around 60% of ARM occur with associated anomalies …

Background-. Although the frequency of associated malformation is high, the incidence of
inheritable syndromes is widely underestimated in children with anorectal malformation …

25 blastogenesis often involve two or more progenitor fields. This fact may explain the cause
of subgroups of ARM that form part of complex phenotypes due to developmental field …
