In the United States, a baby is born with a defect that occurs every four and a quarter minutes. These defects can have a lasting effect on the lives of those affected.

In certain cases, birth defect is prevented by prenatal care and good nutrition. In other cases they could result from environmental factors like exposure to harmful chemicals or toxic substances.
