abnormality
an abnormal physical condition resulting from defective genes or developmental deficiencies
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain congenital anomalies and developmental conditions in general terms with respectful language, route families to specialist and genetic services, describe causes and prevention with attribution, and support inclusion.
An abnormal physical condition resulting from genetic variants or developmental disruption, encompassing congenital anomalies and malformations from minor variations to severe conditions, many with specific medical names; such conditions are diagnosed before or after birth, managed by specialist care, and discussed with respect for affected people and families, avoiding stigmatising language.
What it is for: Congenital and developmental physical conditions.
It can be explain congenital anomalies in general terms; use respectful language; route to specialist services; describe causes and prevention.
Distinguishing features
Congenital or developmental
Genetic or environmental causes
Wide range of severity
Specialist care
What it looks like
Varies widely by condition; many are internal or minor.
How it is recognised
Physical condition from genetic or developmental origin
Present from birth or early development
Acquired conditions arise later from injury or disease
