AB Birth  defects  are  relatively  common,  with  major  anomalies  occurring  in  approximately  3%  to  4%  of  live  births.  More  than  20%  of  infant  deaths  in  the  United  States  are  directly  attributable  to  birth  defects.  In  addition  to  mortality,  birth  defects  also  cause  long-term  morbidity,  including  intellectual  disability  and  physical  dysfunction,  that  can  limit  the  productivity  of  individuals.  These  long-term  disabilities  can  have  significant  impact  on  individuals,  families,  healthcare  systems,  and  communities.
