This paper looks at whether or not mercury poisoning causes malformations in young children. There is some evidence for brain damage in fetuses from mercury which crosses the placenta and the blood-brain barrier, but there is no conclusive evidence on malformations caused by mercury poisoning. Mercury is a neurotoxin, so most of its affects are within the nervous system.
