Summary
An abnormal fetal phenotype can be caused by environmental factors, chromosomal anomalies, specific genes, or more complex genetic mechanisms. Because families with single-gene (Mendelian) disorders or parental chromosomal anomalies have the greatest chance of having children with genetic conditions, it is important to identify couples from such families before they undertake pregnancy.
