Congenital anomalies, also known as birth defects, are structural or functional abnormalities that are present at birth. These abnormalities can affect various parts of the body, including organs, limbs, and tissues. Congenital anomalies can be caused by genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both. Research in this area aims to better understand the causes of congenital anomalies, develop methods for early detection and diagnosis, and identify potential treatments and interventions to improve outcomes for affected individuals. This research is important for improving the understanding and management of congenital anomalies and ultimately improving the health and quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions.
