- Genetic Factors: Mutations in specific genes or chromosomal abnormalities can lead to organ anomalies. Conditions like Down syndrome and Turner syndrome are examples.
- Environmental Factors: Maternal exposure to certain drugs, infections, or toxins during pregnancy can contribute to the development of anomalies.
- Unknown Causes: In many cases, the exact cause remains unknown despite thorough investigation.
