hypoplasia
Hypoplasia is a medical term referring to the underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue, organ, or body part, usually due to a decrease in the number of cells. This condition can occur during the developmental stages in the womb or could develop after birth. It can be a result of genetic factors, environmental influences, or a combination of both.

Hypoplasia
Hypoplasia is underdevelopment or incomplete development of a tissue or organ. Although the term is not always used precisely, it properly refers to an inadequate or below-normal number of cells. Hypoplasia is similar to aplasia, but less severe. It is technically not the opposite of hyperplasia. Hypoplasia is a congenital condition, while hyperplasia generally refers to excessive cell growth later in life. Hypoplasia can be present in any tissue or organ. It is descriptive of many medical conditions, such as: Underdeveloped: ⁕Breasts during puberty tuberous breast ⁕Testes in Klinefelter's syndrome ⁕Ovaries in Fanconi anemia, gonadal dysgenesis, trisomy X ⁕Thymus in DiGeorge syndrome ⁕Labia majora in popliteal pterygium syndrome ⁕Cerebellum caused by mutation in the Reelin gene ⁕Tooth caused by oral pathology, such as Turner's hypoplasia ⁕Chambers of the heart in hypoplastic left heart syndrome and hypoplastic right heart syndrome ⁕Optic nerve in optic nerve hypoplasia
