Congenital disorders can be diagnosed through various methods:
- Prenatal Screening: Tests such as ultrasound, amniocentesis, and chorionic villus sampling (CVS) can detect certain anomalies before birth. - Newborn Screening: After birth, newborns are often screened for various metabolic and genetic disorders using blood tests. - Physical Examination: Some congenital disorders can be identified through a thorough physical examination of the newborn.
