What are heriditary, familial and congenital anomalies?

Derived from parents transmitted through germ line (familial), congenital means at birth (may be genetic may be not like syphilis) and not all genetic are congenital (huntingtons needs 40 years...) Congenital anomalies are most common cause of mortality in 1st year, 20% of fertilized ova are anomalous blightened from outset, others may be compatible w/early development only lead to spontaneous abortion, less severe anomalies allow prolonged intrauterine survival (stillbirth termination or permit life after birth but handicaps) Congenital anomalies include malformations, disruptions, deformations, sequence, malformation syndrome.
