The mechanisms by which maternal diabetes causes malformations in the offspring have yet to be elucidated. The purpose of this report is twofold: first, to describe three male infants born with multiple congenital anomalies and megalourethra, a defect which has not been previously reported in infants of women with diabetes; and second, to indicate that the defects seen in association with megalourethra in these three infants are similar to those seen as a consequence of abnormalities in sonic hedgehog, suggesting that maternal diabetes may affect sonic hedgehog expression in susceptible tissues during critical stages of development.
