The Cuban Registry of Congenital Malformations (CRCM) has analyzed 520 578 newborns at 36 gynecobstetric hospitals in 13 provinces af Cuba for 12 years (from March, 1985 to December, 1996), in which the prevalence of malformations at birth is of 179.8 per 10 000 births. 24.6 % of the cases presented 2 or more malformations associated among themselves. The classification of those suffering from multimalformation was carried out and syndromes proved to be the most frequent. Within the cromosomic syndromes the Down´s syndrome was in the first place with a prevalence at birth of 7.8 per 10 000 births´. In connection with monogenic syndromes inherited with dominant and recessive autosomal models, achondroplasia and albinism had the highest number of cases for a prevalence at birth of 0.44 and 0.21 per 10 000 births, respectively.
