Improper antenatal care and poor nutrition during pregnancy can lead to deformity in the fetus. [Cha. Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 4/30] The six factors responsible for embryogenesis play an important role in the causation of congenital disorders. These include maternal (matruja), paternal (pitruja), spiritual ([[atma]]ja), psychological (sattvaja), adaptations ([[satmya]]ja) and nutritional component (rasaja). Minor defects in these factors can cause congenital abnormalities in the fetus. Major defects cause abortion or intrauterine death of the fetus. [Cha. Sa. [[Sharira Sthana]] 4/28-29]

===Role of [[panchamahabhuta]]===
The five fundamental elements ([[pancha mahabhuta]]) play basic functions during embryogenesis. [[Vayu]] performs function of cell division/multiplication (vibhajana); [[agni]] carries function of metabolism(pachana); [[jala]] carries function of moisture or fluid (kledana); [[Prithvi]] carries function of compactness or formation of mass(samhanana); and [[akasha]] carries function of enlargement of size(vivardhana). If these functions are carried out in normal proportion, the body's normal structure (shareera) is formed. The defective proportion or functioning can adversely affect embryogenesis and result in congenital anamolies. [Su.Sa. Sharira Sthana 5/3] More specifically, [[vayu]] and [[akasha]] cause anatomical deformities in children. [Bhela Sa Sharira Sthana 3/15-16].

Vitiation of all three [[dosha]] during pregnancy can cause congenital disorders. [A. H. Sharira Sthana 1/6] [[Vata]] [[dosha]] plays key role as controller of all activities and anatomical shapes (akruti) of the embryo (garbha). [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 12/8], [Su. Sa. Sharira Sthana 2/50-52]
