Abstract
We recently observed an increased frequency of renal anomalies in children with multiple congenital anomalies syndromes and the screening was done by abdominal ultrasonography followed by further investigations. The present study included 1200 Egyptian patients coming to the outpatient clinic of Clinical Genetics Department, National Research Centre during the period from January 2010 to January 2012. Our sample included 150 Egyptian children with congenital anomalies syndromes, their age ranged from 1 month to 18 years, divided into 2 groups: group 1; includes 34 patients suffering from congenital anomalies syndromes with renal abnormalities either single gene defects or chromosomal aberrations that represents 22.7 % and with (mean age 3.8643± 4.70 SD) , group 2 includes: 116 patients suffering from congenital anomalies syndromes without renal association that represents 77.3% and with (mean age 4.3111± 5.07 SD). All patients were examined clinically and the various clinical features of the syndromes were documented. Abdominal ultrasound was used for screening of renal anomalies in children with multiple congenital anomalies syndromes
