    Recently, a fourth clinical feature was proposed to be part of the CS (Crétolle et al., 2008) that manifests as a neural tube defect. In 1983, Yates et al. (1983) described CS to be an autosomal dominant congenital malformation, since several early case reports showed a tendency for this disease to cluster in families (Kenefick, 1973; Anderson and Burke, 1977; Say and C.J.G., 1975; Rochet et al., 1966; Klenerman and Merrick, 1973; Aaronson, 1970). Over a decade later, the first disease-causing gene for CS was reported (Ross et al., 1998).

    Most ASMs are congenital in nature, as illustrated by the age distribution, familial clustering, and associated congenital defects. Although most congenital ASMs are thought to be sporadic, familial and X-linked dominance has been reported.2,9,13 ASM, especially in conjunction with other associated congenital anomalies (see further), may be considered as belonging to the caudal regression syndrome (CRS).
