Congenital disorder, also known as congenital disease, birth defect or anomaly, is a condition existing at or before birth regardless of cause. Of these diseases, those characterized by structural deformities are termed "congenital anomalies" and involve defects in a developing fetus. Birth defects vary widely in cause and symptoms. Any substance that causes birth defects is known as a teratogen. Some disorders can be detected before birth through prenatal diagnosis (screening).
Birth defects may be the result of genetic or environmental factors. This includes errors of morphogenesis, infection, epigenetic modifications on a parental germline, or a chromosomal abnormality. The outcome of the disorder will depend on complex interactions between the pre-natal deficit and the post-natal environment. Animal studies indicate that the mother's (and likely the father's) diet, vitamin intake, and glucose levels prior to ovulation and conception have long-term effects on fetal growth and adolescent and adult disease. Animal studies have shown that paternal exposures prior to conception and during pregnancy result in increased risk of certain birth defects and cancers. This research suggests that paternal food deprivation, germ line mutations, alcohol use, chemical mutagens, age, smoking habits and epigenetic alterations can affect birth outcomes. However, the relationship between offspring health and paternal exposures, age, and lifestyle are still relatively weak. This is likely because paternal exposures and their effects on the fetus are studied far less extensively than maternal exposures.
Toddler with Birth Defects 'Incompatible with Life' Defies Odds in Venezuela
A toddler is defying all odds and inspiring everyone along the way. Soleannys Lugo says scans showed her unborn daughter's brain, eyes and nose hadn't formed properly, her lip was cleft and she had a clubbed foot and fused fingers. While doctors advised her to terminate her pregnancy four months in, Lugo had other ideas. She wanted her daughter, Helianny, to live.

Birth Defects - What is a Birth Defect?
Birth defects are problems that occur in one or more parts of the body while a baby is developing in the mother’s body. Most birth defects happen during the first three months of pregnancy. Birth defects can affect almost any part of the body and may affect how the body looks or works, or both. Birth defects can be mild to severe. Some are structural problems that are easy to see. While doctors might need to use special tests to find others. The well-being of each child with a birth defect depends mostly on which organ or body part is involved and how much it’s affected. In the United States, about three babies in 100 are born with a birth defect.

A drug used during pregnancy could cause birth defects for generations – BBC London News
Sodium Valproate has been used to treat epilepsy since the 1970s. But thousands of pregnant women say they weren't warned of the risks of severe birth defects including brain damage and spina bifida. According to a new study the powerful drug could also harm families for generations. There are calls for compensation from the government to help care for their families. Tarah Welsh has this special report.

Birth Defects - How are birth defects diagnosed?
A birth defect can be found before birth, at birth, or any time after birth. Most birth defects are found within the first year of life. The mother’s blood can be tested during the first three months of pregnancy to look for proteins in the blood that suggest certain chromosomal disorders, such as Down syndrome. An 11 to 13 week ultrasound, which creates a picture of the baby, will look for extra fluid which may suggest a birth defect of the heart or chromosomal disorder. A second trimester ultrasound taken in the fourth through sixth month of pregnancy is used to check the size of the baby and look for birth defects or other problems. If the result of a screening test is abnormal, doctors do additional tests to see if the unborn baby has birth defects.
