Hello user,
Most of the degenerative diseases are genetic diseases and due to reduction in blood flow to the specific organs, or regions, causing the cells in that region to disintegrate and finally die, and this process is called degeneration.
There are other factors too like trauma, endocrine, inflammatory, nutritional, and altered circulatory hemodynamics.
hope my info helped you
