Congenital anomaly
This Editorial Guide is used for Education Purposes Only. It is used in the Authoring Courses and Certifications. It is based on the January 2026 Editorial Guide.
Disorders which involve congenital anomalies are defined with:
Occurrence (attribute) = Congenital (qualifier value)
Associated morphology (attribute) = Morphologically abnormal structure (morphologic abnormality)
Pathological process (attribute) = Pathological development process (qualifier value)
Therefore, congenital does not need to be represented as the Associated morphology (attribute) target value. Congenital anomaly morphology concepts usually have non-congenital parents.
