Correct Exposure to radiation and a number of infections may result in profound
congenital deformities. These include varicella, rubella, syphilis,
parvovirus, CMV, and toxoplasmosis. Certain maternal conditions such as
diabetes and PKU may also affect organs and other parts of the embryo
during this developmental period. Drugs such as antiseizure medication
and some antibiotics, as well as chemicals including lead, mercury,
tobacco, and alcohol, also may result in structural and functional
abnormalities.
