Overview
Common causes of tetralogy of Fallot may include: Alcoholism in the mother, diabetes, pregnancy after the age of 40, rubella or other viral illnesses during pregnancy, phenylketonuria (PKU) in the mother, fetal hydantoin syndrome, and fetal carbamazepine syndrome.
Causes
Common Causes
Common causes of tetralogy of Fallot may include:
- Alcoholism in the mother
- Diabetes
- Pregnancy after the age of 40
- Rubella or other viral illnesses during pregnancy
- Phenylketonuria (PKU) in the mother
- Fetal hydantoin syndrome
- Fetal carbamazepine syndrome
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of tetralogy of Fallot may include:
- Clomifene
- Poor nutrition during pregnancy
Genetic Causes
Genetic causes of tetralogy of Fallot may include:
- There is a high incidence of chromosomal disorders in children with tetralogy of Fallot.[1][2]
- Tetralogy of Fallot is associated with:
- Down syndrome
- DiGeorge syndrome (a 22q11.2 deletion, a condition associated with heart defects, hypocalcemia, and immune deficiency) A gene polymorphism at the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) region has been associated with tetralogy of Fallot.
