Amyelia - what does this mean
Amyelia is a rare congenital disorder caused by the absence of the formation of the limbs during embryonic development. it is caused by a mutation of the sonic hedgehog gene, which is responsible for the proper development of the limbs. this mutation can be caused by genetic factors, or environmental factors such as exposure to certain toxins or radiation.
What happens during the disease - amyelia
Amyelia is a congenital disorder in which there is a complete or partial absence of the limbs due to a failure of the developing fetus to form the limb buds during the early stages of embryonic development. this is caused by a disruption of the normal process of limb development, which is regulated by a complex network of genetic and environmental factors. mutations in certain genes, such as hoxa13, have been linked to the development of this disorder. additionally, environmental factors such as maternal exposure to certain toxins, maternal nutrition, and certain infections can also contribute to the development of this disorder.
