Popis: On the basis of official statistical data for 1999-2014 the authors assessed the frequency of polydactyly, reduction defects of limbs and multiple congenital malformations in newborns of the Bryansk region living in the areas with different densities of radioactive contamination by long-lived radionuclides cesium-137.(3.0 to 2523.4 kBq/m(2)) and strontium-90 (from 0.02 to 42.5 kBq/M(2)). The findings did not reveal statistically significant differences in the frequency of polydactyly, reduction defects of limbs and multiple congenital malformations in newborns in the South-Western Territories compared with medium-regional values, although the maximum value of the sum of congenital. developmental anomalies (polydactyly, reduction limb defects and multiple congenital malformations) are detected in the above-mentioned most contaminated areas.
