Reduction defects of upper limb - what does this mean

Reduction defects of the upper limb occur when the fetus does not develop normally in the womb, leading to the absence or underdevelopment of parts of the arm, hand, or shoulder. these defects can be caused by genetic factors, environmental factors, or a combination of both.

What happens during the disease - reduction defects of upper limb

Reduction defects of the upper limb are caused by a disruption of normal embryonic development of the limb bud, resulting in a lack of formation of the tissues and structures necessary for a fully-formed limb. this disruption can be caused by a variety of genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors. for example, a genetic mutation can cause a disruption in the normal development of the limb bud, resulting in a reduction defect. additionally, environmental factors such as exposure to certain chemicals or radiation can also affect the development of the limb bud, resulting in a reduction defect. finally, nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy can also lead to a reduction defect of the upper limb.
