What happens during the disease - agenesis of lung

Agenesis of lung is a rare congenital disorder that occurs when the lungs fail to develop properly in the womb. it is believed that genetic mutations, environmental factors, and abnormalities in the development of the embryo can all play a role in the development of this condition. in some cases, the airways and blood vessels in the lungs may be malformed, while in other cases, the lungs may be absent altogether. this can lead to severe respiratory complications, including difficulty breathing, frequent infections, and a reduced ability to absorb oxygen.
