A member asked:

Can you tell me is huntington's disease a congenital disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Word games: This is a genetic disorder that hides in your dna until you are old enough for symptoms to appear. To some congenital simply refers to something you are born with. Some may consider this congenital. Most reserve the descriptive term to mean it becomes evident at or near the time of birth. (ie.A congenital amputation of fingers, cleft palate defect, etc.).
