  • Condition - "a usually defective state of health" such as a serious heart condition
  • Disease - "an impairment of the normal state of the living animal or plant body or one of its parts that interrupts or modifies the performance of the vital functions, is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms, and is a response to environmental factors (as malnutrition, industrial hazards, or climate), to specific infective agents (as worms, bacteria, or viruses), to inherent defects of the organism (as genetic anomalies), or to combinations of these factors"
  • Malformation - an abnormality in the formation of the body part or a faulty formation of the structure. It is an initial formational problem.
  • Deformation - an alteration in the form or shape of the body part after it is initially formed. It is a secondary problem. Amniotic band constriction is an example.
  • Associations - have more than 1 phenotypic features or are "...malformations that occur together more often than would be expected by chance..." and do not have evidence of a single unifying cause.
  • Syndromes - have more than 1 phenotypic feature or are malformations that occur together more than would be expected by chance that have with a single unifying cause or presumed cause.
  • Sequence - a consequence, result, or subsequent development (as of a disease). Pierre-Robin sequence is an example
