Congenital deformity of hand - what does this mean
Congenital deformity of the hand is a birth defect that occurs when the development of the hand during pregnancy is disrupted, resulting in malformation of the hand at birth. it can be caused by genetic mutations, environmental factors, or a combination of both.
What happens during the disease - congenital deformity of hand
Congenital deformity of the hand is caused by a disruption in the normal development of the hand during the fetal period. this disruption can be caused by a genetic mutation, environmental factors, or a combination of both. the genetic mutation can cause a decrease in the production of proteins and enzymes necessary for normal hand development, while environmental factors can interfere with the normal development of the hand by causing exposure to toxins or radiation. the resulting deformities can range from mild to severe and can affect the shape, size, and mobility of the hand.
