ICD-Code Q87.2: Congenital malformation syndromes predominantly involving limbs
You have a congenital condition that caused abnormalities in certain parts of the body.
A disorder has caused some parts of your body to fail to develop properly, if at all. The condition can be hereditary. Other family members may also be affected by the disease.
Various hereditary diseases can lead to some parts of the body developing differently than they would normally. The shoulders, arms, hands, hips, legs or feet may be affected. Organs, such as the heart, can also be affected by the condition and fail to develop properly. In this case, you may have various other symptoms and may even be seriously ill.
