Big data sets are impressive when used carefully in epidemiological research. The Archivist has always been aware that various birth defects and some non-chromosomal syndromes are associated with the risk of developing cancer later in life. What do we know about these associations? In a large population-based registry study of over 10 million children in the United States of America (USA), Lupo PL et al. [JAMA Oncol 2019. doi:10.1001/jamaoncol.2019.1215] have assessed the cancer risk among children with birth defects.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is not a disease, but a neurological syndrome, a combination of signs and symptoms, some of which may occur in neurodegenerative or metabolic disorders, particularly those with an onset in the first 2 years of life. There are many different causes of the syndrome. All children with CP should undergo brain MRI, even with an identified antenatal or perinatal insult. Children with CP should be referred to a paediatric neurologist or a clinical geneticist, or both, if appropriate and particularly in the absence of a known perinatal cerebral insult, with brain MRI that is reported to be normal, a progression in, or new, signs or where there is a reported ‘family history of CP’. Finally, a few of the CP syndromes may be readily treatable and potentially prevent irreversible neurological and cognitive impairment. from Archives of Disease in Childhood current issue https://ift.tt/2YcDSIJ
