Secretion of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone syndrome (SIADH) is a disorder of fluid-electrolyte balance caused by the inability to suppress the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) resulting in the development of hyponatremia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of the holoprosencephalies is heterogeneous and has been attributed to both environmental and genetic causes.[appliedradiology.com]
(Etiology) Nonsyndromic Holoprosencephaly can be caused by genetic mutations, in one or many genes, involved in brain and face development.[dovemed.com]
Cyclopia etiology is heterogeneous, with a prevalence of 1.05 in100,000 births. We report a case of cyclopia with sinoftalmia in a fetus of 21 weeks where… CONTINUE READING Figures and Topics from this paper.[semanticscholar.org]
Defective sterol metabolism leading to abnormalities in the sonic hedgehog ( SHH ) signaling pathway may have a role in its causation. [21, 22, 23, 24, 25] However, many genes besides SHH have also been associated with holoprosencephaly. [26] Etiology[emedicine.medscape.com]
In a large epidemiologic study, Croen et al found the prevalence of holoprosencephaly to be 1.2 per 10,000 live births and fetal deaths.[appliedradiology.com]
