Clefts in quintuplets--a case report.

Y Zilberman, M Robinson, D Weinstein

    The Cleft Palate Journal
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pergonal fertility treatment may be linked to birth defects like clefting in siblings. Further research is needed to explore this potential association and its causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Medicine
    • Developmental Biology
    • Teratology

    Background:

    • Pergonal (human menopausal gonadotropin) is a fertility medication used to stimulate ovulation.
    • Multiple births are a known risk associated with Pergonal treatment.
    • Congenital abnormalities are a significant concern in reproductive medicine.

    Observation:

    • A case report details three siblings within a set of quintuplets exhibiting clefting.
    • These siblings were conceived following Pergonal treatment.
    • The varying severity of clefting suggests potential environmental or mechanical influences during gestation.

    Findings:

    • This is the first reported instance of congenital abnormalities, specifically clefting, associated with Pergonal therapy.
    • The study highlights a potential teratogenic effect of Pergonal or related treatment protocols.

  • Intrauterine conditions, such as crowding or pressure, are hypothesized as contributing factors to the observed abnormalities.

    • Implications:

    • The findings warrant further investigation into the safety profile of Pergonal regarding congenital defects.
    • An animal model is proposed to establish a causal relationship between Pergonal and developmental abnormalities.
    • This research could inform clinical practices and patient counseling for individuals undergoing fertility treatments.
