Abstract

Abstract

Congenital pathologies are the result of gene anomalies or inconveniences during the development period, and their recognition allows to identify anatomical variants in universities and in clinical and forensic contexts. The aim of this study is to present the congenital anomalies observed in a regional and contemporary skeletal sample. It also provides an explanation about the causes of malformations and their relationship with prevalence in modern societies. The sample analyzed was composed of 100 individuals belonging to the Lambre Collection, housed in the Faculty of Medical Sciences, National University of La Plata, Argentina. All the individuals are adults, with ages between 22 and 101 years, being 67 males and 33 females, who died between 1936 and 2001. Five male individuals with congenital pathologies were found: atlas occipitalization atlas, spina bifida, supernumerary bones and tarsal coalition. The low prevalence of congenital pathologies observed in the sample coincides with the estimated rates for contemporary populations, living in big cities. Low endogamy and consanguinity decrease the burden of common recessive genes, which are potentially the cause of malformations.
