Case Definition
What Are Genetic and Congenital Disorders?
Genetic and congenital disorders are conditions that occur due to changes in genes or problems during fetal development, leading to deformities or disturbances in growth or body functions. These disorders can affect bones, muscles, joints, or other organs in the body.
Symptoms:
- Visible deformities in bones or limbs
- Differences in height or size compared to peers
- Movement or joint problems
- Occasional disturbances in organ growth or vital functions
- Delayed physical or mental development in some cases
Causes:
- Inherited genetic mutations
- Abnormal fetal development during pregnancy
- Environmental or nutritional factors affecting fetal formation
- Inherited disorders from parents
Diagnosis:
- Comprehensive medical examination at birth or during growth stages
- X-rays and MRI to evaluate bones and joints
- Genetic testing to identify mutations
- Regular monitoring of physical and mental development
Treatment:
- Physical therapy and exercises to strengthen muscles and improve mobility
- Medications or supplements when needed (e.g., vitamin or hormone deficiencies)
- Surgery to correct severe bone or joint deformities
- Continuous follow-up to ensure normal growth and body functions
