Material and method: a descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study was performed including a sheer number of pregnant women caught from January 1 2008 to December 31, 2012, in La Palma Municipality.
Results: out of 2043 caught pregnant woman, the 46.5% were classified as increased genetic risk, being this group and the group of ages between 21 and 29 years those with the greater number of congenital defects prenatally diagnosed. Congenital defects of the cardiovascular system occurred most in frequency, followed by renal malformations and of the central nervous system, and out of all of them the higher number decided to finish pregnancy by partnering decision.
