This poor Saudi girl is typical: From "...Eastern-province close to the South of Iraq, where Gulf wars took place and the reported incidence of birth defects, including orofacial malformation, jumped there to about seven-folds, after war, thus, environmental contamination, and the possible teratogenic effect of depleted uranium could not be excluded.." https://www.oncotarget.com/article/23479/text/ -She shows all the typical features of Goldenhar syndrome as my sister (who was if anything slightly worse.) In bleak irony (because no one does parental background checks), my sisters case will be statistically a part of the "natural occurrence" ratio.
