ABSTRACT
Congenital malformations are the second cause of death in children less than one year old. In Cienfuegos the infant mortality rate due to malformations was 2,4 per 1 000 born alive in 2007, a fact that contributed significantly in decreasing the value of infant mortality rate in the province and in the country as well. A descriptive and retrospective study was carried out aimed at characterizing the behavior of genetic risk in the pregnants of Abreus municipality, in the period January to December 2007. The work universe was constituted by 254 pregnants enrolled in the consultations of community genetics during the period mentioned. It was noted that 53% of the pregnants attending consultation rooms had increased risk, fundamentally due to high maternal age, chronic diseases and medications taken during the first trimester of pregnancy. Six newborns with congenital malformations were found, four of them as a result of increased risk pregnancies.REFERENCES
