What happens during the disease - agenesis and aplasia of cervix

Agenesis and aplasia of the cervix is a rare condition caused by an abnormality in the development of the cervix during the early stages of embryonic development. it is believed to be caused by a genetic mutation in the hox genes, which are responsible for the proper development of the reproductive system. this mutation can lead to the cervix not forming properly, resulting in a lack of development or agenesis, or aplasia, where the cervix is abnormally small and thin.
