A member asked:
Are developmental, familial and congenital anomalies different?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: Developmental = failure to meet developmental milestones such as sitting up, walking etc. This may be aquired from e.g. Birth injury. Familial means that it is a trait within a family, presumably genetic. Congenital is "accidental" with no known cause.
