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.

Agenesis and aplasia of the cervix can be prevented through regular screening for cervical cancer, such as pap tests and hpv testing, as well as through hpv vaccination. additionally, abstaining from smoking and limiting sexual partners can reduce the risk of developing the condition.
