Congenital & Genetic Disorders

Medical issues called congenital and genetic ones are present from birth and can be caused by the environment, genetic flaws, or both. These illnesses can impact the physical, cognitive, and developmental facets of a person's life.
Usually impacted by infections, maternal health, or exposure to toxins, congenital diseases result from problems during foetal development. Among these are cleft lip/palate, neural tube anomalies, and congenital cardiac problems.
Genetic diseases result from chromosomal defects or mutations in genes. One can inherit them or develop naturally. Among the well-known hereditary conditions are haemophilia, cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anaemia, and Down syndrome.
Genetic screening, prenatal testing, and neonatal screening can help find these disorders early and help with their management. While medical treatments can manage or correct certain congenital and hereditary diseases, others require lifetime care and support. Medical research and advances in gene therapy give promise for improved treatment possibilities down the road.
