Paper Summary:

This paper provides a brief look at what a congenital abnormality is, the different types such as dwarfism and cleft lip and then discusses the various causes behind these disorders such as genetics, medication and drugs.

From the Paper:

"There are many types of congenital disorders, for example: dwarfism, conjoined twins, deformed or missing limbs, misshapen body parts etc. The cleft lip deformity is the most common congenital deformity seen in the United States. Some of these deformities can be rectified by undergoing a series of plastic surgeries and intensive physical therapy. On average, a person born with a cleft lip needs to undergo approximately 7 operations on their lip over a wide period of time. It is always important for a baby born with a physical deformity to have a thorough evaluation from a dysmorphologist (someone who specializes in genetic related disorders) and a pediatrician familiar with congenital disorders. Most babies are born healthy. "
