[Genetic aspects in anencephalus].
According to one case of repeated anencephalic pregnancy the etiology of anencephaly has been discussed. The possibilities of prevention of repeated anencephalic pregnancies are described. To determine the alpha-I-fetoprotein in amniotic fluid and the ultrasonic diagnosis are most important in risk pregnancies. The significance of genetic counselling and examination in definitive risk population is advised.
