What happens during the disease - prune belly syndrome
Prune belly syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of the abdominal wall muscles, urinary system, and external genitalia. it is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the development of the abdominal wall muscles, urinary tract, and external genitalia. this mutation causes the abdominal wall muscles to be underdeveloped, resulting in a wrinkled or “prune belly” appearance. it also affects the development of the urinary tract, leading to obstruction of the ureters and bladder, and can cause kidney failure. in some cases, the external genitalia may be underdeveloped, leading to infertility.
