Congenital disabilities can result from a variety of factors, including genetic abnormalities, environmental influences, and maternal health conditions during pregnancy. Genetic factors may involve inherited genes or chromosomal disorders, while environmental factors can include exposure to toxins, infections, or nutritional deficiencies.
