Overview
Overview
Causes of Patent ductus arteriosus is not known. However, increased incidence have been associated with mother’s rubella and genetic causes

Common Causes
Common causes of patent ductus arteriosus may include:
- Genetic factors[1]
- PDA has is highly familial. It is shown that with the effect of environmental elements.
- Studies shown the inheritance is more contributed to autosomal dominant.[2]
- Congenital rubella[3]
- Fetal alcohol syndrome[4]
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of PDA include:
