===Associations===
*Associated with congenital abnormalities, esp. cardiac - '''key point'''.<ref name=Ref_WMSP464>{{Ref WMSP|464}}</ref>
**Thought to be an acquired defect (as prevalence is lower early in gestation).
*May be seen in association of other cord abnormalities (e.g. marginal insertion, velamentous insertion).
*In apparently well (liveborn) infants it is associated with (occult) renal abnormalities, specifically vesico-ureteric reflux; there is no evidence for other abnormalities.<ref name=pmid15613529>{{cite journal |author=Srinivasan R, Arora RS |title=Do well infants born with an isolated single umbilical artery need investigation? |journal=Arch.
