The results of numerous studies demonstrate the heterogeneity of the causes of congenital malformations (CMs) (genetic, chromosomal, teratogenic, etc.), although the nature of CMs remains unknown and is multifactorial in a significant proportion (65–70%) of cases. At least 2–3% of all СMs are known to be associated with the use of drugs. The paper gives the results of the authors’ own study evaluating the impact of ABCB1 gene polymorphism on the risk of CMs in the Russian population of pregnant women.
