malformation

Roughly 4% of the population is affected by a congenital brain malformation that has eluded researchers' efforts to find causes and treatments.

One study of children born in Denmark between 2008 and 2017, for example, showed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, antipsychotics during the first trimester did not increase the risk of congenital malformations.

The health service and government of the time "defended itself, rather than trying to find the absolute truth for people" about whether a hormone pregnancy test caused malformations, stillbirths and abortions, she said.

Anencephaly is a fatal congenital malformation where major parts of the brain and skull fail to form.

The four additional episodes of high Hg concentrations and high fern spore malformations were unlikely connected to later phases of Central Atlantic Magmatic Province volcanism.
