VATER syndrome or<unk>  is a nonrandom<unk>  of birth defects. The reason it is called an<unk> , rather than a syndrome is that all of the birth defects are linked, however it is still unknown which genes, or sets of genes cause these birth defects to occur.
Each child with this condition can be truly unique in its own way, with defects being different from any other child. At present this condition is treated after birth with issues being approached one at a time.<unk>  can be linked to other similar conditions such as, Klippel Feil and Goldenhar Syndrome including crossovers of conditions.
No specific genetic or chromosome problem has been identified with<unk> .<unk>  can be seen with some chromosomal defects such as Trisomy 18 and is more frequently seen in babies of diabetic mothers.<unk> , however, is most likely caused by multiple factors.
