Table 3. Malformation frequency at birth (including stillbirths and perinatal deaths, but not early miscarriages) in relation to parental exposure.
Mother’s exposure condition | Father’s exposure condition | ||
---|---|---|---|
Not in cities (%) | Low-to-moderate doses (%) | High doses (%) | |
Not in cities | 294/31,904 (0.92) | 40/4,509 (0.89) | 6/534 (1.1) |
Low-to-moderate doses | 144/17,616 (0.82) | 79/7,970 (0.99) | 5/614 (0.81) |
High doses | 19/1,676 (1.1) | 6/463 (1.3) | 1/145 (0.7) |
Data are from Neel and Schull (1991). The early miscarriages have apparently not been recorded.
