2. Congenital anomalies
Can be defined as structural or functional
anomalies that occur during intrauterine
life (can be identified prenatally, at birth, or sometimes
may only be detected later in infancy, such as hearing
defects)
Also known as
Birth defects,
Congenital disorders or congenital
malformations.

3. Causes of 2.68 million deaths during the neonatal
period in 2015, worldwide
02-12-2017
(WHO, 2015)
4. Causes of congenital anomalies
Genetic factors
Inheritance of anomaly coding genes
Mutations
Socioeconomic and demographic factors
lack of access to sufficient, nutritious foods and
poorer access to healthcare and screening for
pregnant
Maternal age
Environmental factors
Maternal exposure to certain pesticides and
other chemicals, as well as certain medications,
alcohol, tobacco and radiation during pregnancy
Infections
Maternal infections such as syphilis and rubella

5. Classification of the congenital
anomalies
Primary anomalies
abnormality in genetic composition that
will lead to defect in the structure of an
organ or a part of an organ
source is internal factor
02-12-2017
6. Classification congenital anomalies
Secondary anomalies
Interruption or disruption of the normal
development of an organ due to external
factors like teratogenic agents e.g. infection,
chemical substance, ionizing radiation or a
trauma
most widespread infectious agents are the
rubella virus, the cytomegaly virus and
toxoplasma gondii
02-12-2017
Phocomelia
7. Important to note
Embryopathies (14-56 days)
Foetopathies (56 days onwards)
Congenital abnormality is not
necessarily to be inherited it can be
acquired during ontogenesis

8. Disturbances of metabolism
Due to defects in the breakdown of
amino acids or in the bodys ability to
get amino acids into cells
Garrods hypothesis:
A B X C
D (Toxic metabolite)
02-12-2017
9. Disturbances of metabolism
An inherited enzyme deficiency
leading to the disruption of normal
bodily metabolism
Accumulation of a toxic substrate
(compound acted upon by an enzyme in a
chemical reaction)
Impaired formation of a product
normally produced by the deficient
enzyme

10. Types of amino acid metabolism
disorders
PHENYLKETONURIA
MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE
HOMOCYSTINURIA
TYROSINEMIA
ALCAPTONURIA
GLYCINURIA
02-12-2017
11. PHENYLKETONURIA
Due to lack of the enzyme Phenylalanine
hydroxylase.
Phenylalanine hydroxylase required for
conversion of phenylalanine to tyrosine.
Phenylanine accumulate in blood and reaches
to brain, toxic to brain (in excess conc.)
02-12-2017
(Guthrine and Susi 1963).
13. PHENYLKETONURIA
Nervous symptoms are observed e.g.
Seizures, aggressive or self-injurious
behavior, hyperactivity and intellectual
disability.
Treatment:
Restrict phenylalanine intake
Restrict meat, milk, or other common foods
that contain protein
Special nutritional products, including infant
formula without phenylalanine, are also
available that should be fed.

14. MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is
caused by lack of the branched-
chain alpha-ketoacid
dehydrogenase complex (BCKAD)
enzymes
(Mackenzie and Woolf, 1959; Dancis et al.,
1959).
These enzymes are responsible for
breaking down the branched chain
amino acids i.e. leucine, isoleucine,
and valine that are in protein-rich02-12-2017
15. MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE
Accumulation of these amino acids and their
toxic by-products (ketoacids) results in the
serious health problems associated with
MSUD
Excretion of these compounds also impart
maple syrup smell to sweat and other body
secretions
Causes
neurologic changes,

16. HOMOCYSTINURIA
Caused by lack of the enzyme
cystathionine beta synthase - needed
to metabolize homocysteine
02-12-2017
(Mudd et al., 1964, Mudd et al., 1985).
18. HOMOCYSTINURIA
Symptoms
Decreased vision and
Skeletal abnormalities
Spontaneously blood clotting resulting in
strokes
High blood pressure
Treatment and control measures
Improved when given vitamin B6
(pyridoxine) or vitamin B12 (cobalamin)
(Wilcken et al.,
1997)
02-12-2017
19. TYROSINEMIA
Caused by lack of the enzyme
4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate
dioxygenase
Mostly affects the liver and the
kidneys
02-12-2017(Lindblad et al., 1977; Kvittingen, 1986)
21. TYROSINEMIA
Types of Tyrosinemia
Type I (most common)
Type II
Symptoms
Type I - dysfunction of the liver, kidneys, and
nerves, resulting in irritability, rickets, or even
liver failure and death
Restriction of tyrosine is of little help
Type II -intellectual disability and frequently
develop sores on the skin and eyes.
Restriction of tyrosine in the diet can prevent
problems from developing.

22. Disturbances of protein metabolism
Defective Proteins and Disease
Oxygen carrying proteins
Connective tissue proteins
Clotting factors

24. CONNECTIVE TISSUE PROTEINS
Occipital Horn Syndrome Cutis Laxa,
X-linked
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type I
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type I-C
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Silent Type
II/III
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type IV
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Neonatal
Lethal form
02-12-2017
25. CLOTTING FACTORS
Afibrinogenemia complete loss of fibrinogen, Factor I
Dysfibrinogenemia dysfunctional fibrinogen, Factor I
Factor II Disorders
Factor III (tissue factor) is the only coagulation factor for
which a congenital defect has not been identified
Factor V Deficiency Labile Factor deficiency
Factor VII Deficiency
Hemophilia A Factor VIII deficiency
Hemophilia B Factor IX deficiency
Factor X Deficiency
Factor XI Deficiency Rosenthal Syndrome, Plasma
Thromboplastin Antecedent (PTA) deficiency
Factor XII Deficiency Hageman factor deficiency
02-12-2017
26. Conclusion
Most of the disturbances in
metabolism are caused due to point
mutation in genes coding for the
enzymes
Theses disturbances can be treated
by restricting the diet with the toxic
compound
Also, can be prevented by avoiding
inbreeding of diagnosed individuals.
