Congenital defects are main causes of new born and child anomalies and morality, which cause single or multiple defects in one or many organs of the child. Worldwide each year about 3 % of 134 million annual births are affected by major structural and functional defects. Birth defects may have a genetic infection or environmental sources but about 50 % of all congenital disorders still have no exact cause. This review article focuses on the causes of genetic disorders, types of genetic disorders, development of genetic disorders, epidemiology and prevention of genetic disorders.
