The phrase "a wide range of malformations" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing various types of deformities or abnormalities in a medical, biological, or developmental context.
Example: "The study revealed a wide range of malformations in the subjects, highlighting the need for further research."
Alternatives: "a broad spectrum of malformations" or "a diverse array of malformations".
Two control groups were used: 1704 nonmalformed infants and 15,356 infants with a wide range of other malformations.

Due to its versatile function in regulating cell motility and signaling, defects in the FLNA gene have been demonstrated as the cause for a wide range of developmental malformations involving the brain, bone, limbs, and heart [ 10, 19].
In fact, parental involvement in agricultural work and/or parental exposure to pesticides has been associated with higher risk of a wide range of congenital malformations (Kristensen et al. 1997).
A wide range of the CNS malformations including neural tube defects have been detected in different regions of Saudi Arabia with consanguinity appearing to be a major risk factor [ 23, 24, 27, 28].
Implications and future directions These results demonstrate that HREM combined with a newly designed phenotyping protocol permits the identification of a wide range of previously unidentified structural malformations and tissue abnormalities in prenatally lethal embryos of knockout mice.
Studies have shown that in utero exposure to alcohol in these animals results in a wide range of anomalies, including growth retardation, CNS malformations, mental disability, and distinct craniofacial dysmorphology (Anthony et al. 2010; Boehm et al. 1997; Boggan et al. 1979; Bond and Di Giusto 1977; Klein de Licona et al. 2009; McGivern 1989; Parnell et al. 2009).
Indeed, mutations in Fln genes (A and B) cause a wide range of brain, bone, skeleton and heart developmental malformations, likely due to severe defects in embryonic cell migration as well as to the failure of Fln to interact with other proteins [8].
Neuronal migration disorders represent a group of rare brain malformations which account for a wide range of cortical anomalies, the most severe forms being represented by lissencephalies [ 1- 3].
