Minor physical anomalies in children with mental retardation, hearing and vision impairment
Background: Minor physical anomalies (MPA) can serve as a strong tool in the delineation of many major malformations, syndromes, metabolic and psychiatric disorders. Aim: To asses the frequency and weight of MPA in developmentally disturbed (DD) children: mentally retarded (MR), children with hearing impairment(HI), and vision impairment (VI). Methods: The study was carried out on a sample of 776 children aged 5 to 20 years ; 473 DD children, and 303 healthy subjects. The patient sample comprised 268 MR children (157 boys and 111 girls) ; 121 HI children (82 boys and 39 girls) and 84 VI children (37 boys and 47 girls). Children with recognizable genetic syndromes were excluded from the study. Waldrop physical anomaly score was used to asses MPA in all groups. Results: The average number of MPA per individual (W1) was significantly higher in MR group (M = 4.09), HI group (M = 4.32), VI group (M = 3.27) than in healthy controls (M = 1.89 ; p<0.001). Means of Waldrop weighted scores (W2) were also significantly higher in MR group (M = 3.81), HI group (M = 3.97), VI group (M = 3.24) than in control group(M = 1.70 ; p<0.001). There were no significant sex differences in W1 and W2 in different groups. Conclusions: The significantly higher number of minor anomalies per person and their high weighted score in all three groups of children with DD children suggests that they are associated with common underlying factors leading to disturbed prenatal child development.
