It is important to note that the risk of malformation is not necessarily linked to the control of the diabetes; however the sensitivity may be maximal in the first timester.

Malformations include:

  • caudal regression sequence
  • congenital heart disease; principally ventricular septal defect, coarctation of the aorta and transposition of the great arteries.
  • congenital microcolon
  • the ears may be hairy; this is of no clinical significance
