| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to establish whether an increase in failed termination of pregnancy is observed among individuals with arthrogryposis (multiple congenital contractures). A total of 2,500 unselected patients with arthrogryposis collected by the author over a 35-year period were reviewed. The cases included referrals, consultations, personal examinations, and correspondence. They were reviewed for clinical features, pregnancy complications, family history, and a history of attempted terminations of the pregnancy. Eleven cases of failed terminations of pregnancy in which the individuals were subsequently born with arthrogryposis were identified. We conclude that infants who survive attempted termination of pregnancy (both surgical and medical) may be at an increased risk to be born with multiple congenital contractures. Careful examination of the tissue and a post-procedure ultrasound will help to assure that the termination has been successful. Those infants surviving attempted termination of pregnancy who have arthrogryposis are also at >50% risk for intellectual disability. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
