Abstract

In maternity units in the North Thames (West) Region, UK, there were some 47 500 births plus terminations for fetal abnormality in 1996. Data from the Congenital Malformation Register suggested to us that there was a higher rate of pregnancies with neural-tube defects in women of Indian or Pakistani origin. It is unlikely that this disparity is entirely the result of reporting bias as similar trends have been reported elsewhere.1
