Overview
Causes
Common Causes
- 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
- Clomifene
- Poor nutrition during pregnancy
Genetic Causes
- 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.
