Congenital conditions can be caused by a variety of factors:
Genetic factors: Mutations in genes or issues with chromosomes can lead to congenital conditions. Some conditions are inherited from parents, while others occur spontaneously. Environmental factors: Exposure to certain medications, chemicals, or infections during pregnancy can increase the risk of congenital disorders. Examples include alcohol, thalidomide, or rubella infection. Multifactorial inheritance: Many congenital conditions result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
