Text Extraction

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), congenital malformations are defined as “all anomalies in morphological, structural, functional or molecular development found in a newborn that may be external or internal, familial or spontaneous, hereditary or not, single or multiple, resulting from a defective embryogenesis.” The study of the causes is extremely relevant, not only for its growing impact on the levels of health and well-being of the newborn, but also because they are clearly avoidable problems.
