The prevalence of minor morphological aberrations was evaluated in 54 children with various congenital metabolic disorders. Similarly to major malformations, minor malformations were not more common in the patients than in our control population. The dysmorphic appearance of some of the affected children was caused by minor variants that arose after organogenesis.
