structural or functional abnormalities present at birth

Birth defects, also known as congenital disorders or congenital anomalies, are structural or functional abnormalities that occur during intrauterine development. These defects can affect various parts of the body, including the heart, brain, or limbs, and can result from genetic factors, environmental exposures, or a combination of both. They can range from minor issues that may not require treatment to severe conditions that can significantly impact a person's quality of life or even be life-threatening.
