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.
02-12-2017
Causes of 2.68 million deaths during the neonatal
period in 2015, worldwide
02-12-2017
(WHO, 2015)
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
02-12-2017
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
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
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
02-12-2017
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
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
02-12-2017
Types of amino acid metabolism
disorders
 PHENYLKETONURIA
 MAPLE SYRUP URINE DISEASE
 HOMOCYSTINURIA
 TYROSINEMIA
 ALCAPTONURIA
 GLYCINURIA
02-12-2017
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).
02-12-2017
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.
02-12-2017
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
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,
02-12-2017
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).
02-12-2017
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
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)
02-12-2017
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.
02-12-2017
Disturbances of protein metabolism
 Defective Proteins and Disease
 Oxygen carrying proteins
 Connective tissue proteins
 Clotting factors
02-12-2017
OXYGEN CARRYING PROTEINS
 Sickle-Cell Anemia
 B-Talassemia
 A-Talassemia
02-12-2017
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
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
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.
