Incidence of congenital microcephaly in the Czech Republic: The effect of maternal age
This research provides the most detailed population-based estimate of congenital microcephaly in the Czech Republic. The study reports a lower relative incidence compared to many other countries. The findings highlight significant associations with maternal age and a notable female predominance, warranting further investigation into genetic and biological mechanisms.
