Achondroplasia

An autosomal dominant pattern which causes a form of short limbed dwarfism, literal meaning "without cartilage formation".

People with achondroplasia have inherited an altered FGFR3 gene from at least one of their parents. 50% of their children will carry the allele responsible for the disease.
