Congenital malformations in the progenies of Iranian chemical victims.
The incidence of congenital malformations among the progenies of the Iranian chemical victims were studied. A higher incidence of abnormalities were found among survivors' offspring of Iranian gas victims. Parental exposure to chemical weapons may be associated with an increased risk for some congenital malformations.
