Answer:

Defect of medium-chain coenzyme A dehydrogenase

What would happen if your immune system and your lymphatic system stopped working properly​
sattari [20]

If your lymphatic system stopped working properly fluid would build in your tissues and cause swelling. You could get infections, blockage and even cancer. If your immune system stopped working properly too then you would most likely die. Since your lymphatic system is down and your immune system is down it would weaken your body tremendously meaning the smallest cold could cause death.
