About

These disorders can be caused by genetic factors, exposure to certain substances during pregnancy, or a combination of both. Congenital disorders can affect various parts of the body, such as the heart, brain, limbs, or internal organs. They can range from mild to severe and can have a significant impact on a person's health and quality of life. Some common examples of congenital disorders include Down syndrome, cleft lip and palate, spina bifida, and congenital heart defects. Treatment for congenital disorders often involves a multidisciplinary approach, combining medical interventions, surgeries, therapies, and support services. Advances in prenatal screening and diagnostic technologies have improved the ability to detect these disorders early in pregnancy, allowing for better management and preparation for affected individuals and their families.
