A congenital disorder, or congenital disease, is a condition existing at birth and often before birth, or that develops during the first month of life (neonatal disease), regardless of causation.

All genetic disorders are not apparent at birth but develop as the child grows. Genetic malformations are most evident at birth but metabolic disorders are silent. Physical abnormalities are apparent as we can see them as variation from normal but in metabolic disorder since the defect lies in the gene coding for an enzyme. Faulty metabolism shows up as symptoms as the baby grows up. Detection is possible by a painless urine test which gives diagnostic results.
