Other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes - what does this mean

Other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes occur when a baby is born with a genetic disorder that causes abnormalities in the bones and other parts of the body. this can include abnormalities in the shape of the skull, spine, or limbs, as well as other skeletal changes such as joint and bone deformities. these syndromes can be caused by a single gene mutation or a combination of multiple genetic defects.

What happens during the disease - other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes

Other congenital malformation syndromes with other skeletal changes are caused by a variety of genetic and environmental factors. mutations in genes that control growth and development can lead to skeletal malformations, including abnormal bone and cartilage formation. exposure to certain environmental agents such as radiation, drugs, or toxic chemicals can also cause changes in the structure and function of the skeletal system. additionally, nutritional deficiencies can lead to abnormal bone and cartilage development.
