Hypochrondroplasia is a genetic disorder characterized by small stature and disproportionately short arms, legs, hands, and feet (short-limbed dwarfism). Short stature often is not recognized until early to mid childhood or, in some cases, as late as adulthood.

Mental Health Hereditary Musculoskeletal Disorders: Osteochondrodysplasias Description Osteochondrodysplasias are a group of hereditary disorders in which bone or cartilage grows abnormally, so that the skeleton develops abnormally. Many types of osteochondrodysplasia cause dwarfism. Achondroplasia is the most common of the many types of short-limbed dwarfism. Achondroplasia is characterised by abnormal bone growth that results in short stature with disproportionately short arms and legs, a large head, and characteristic facial features. Intelligence and life span are usually normal, although an increased risk is present for death in infancy from compression of the spinal cord and/or upper airway obstruction. Achondroplasia is the most common form of inherited disproportionate short stature. It occurs in one in 15,000 to one in 40,000 live births. Symptoms and Signs Individuals with achondroplasia have short stature caused by rhizomelic shortening of the limbs, characteristic faces with frontal bossing and mid-face hypoplasia, exaggerated lumbar lordosis, limitation of elbow extension and rotation

Causes of Achondroplasia Achondroplasia is an inherited disorder of bone growth. It is one of the group of disorders that are collectively called chondrodystrophies or osteochondrodysplasias. The disorder causes a type of dwarfism that is recognized by its characteristic normal to large-sized head, shortened arms and legs (especially the upper arm and thigh), a normal-sized trunk, and waddling gait. Achondroplasia is the most common type of dwarfism. Achondroplasia is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. However, the majority of cases, approximately 80%, appear as spontaneous mutations. If one parent has achondroplasia, the infant has a 50% chance of inheriting the disorder. If both parents have the condition, the infant's chances of being affected increase to 75%.

A: Achondroplasia is derived from Greek and it means "without cartilage formation". Though patients with achondroplasia have cartilage, only a small amount of cartilage in the growth plates of the long bones turns into bone and short stature. It is the most common type of disproportionate short stature. Q: What are the clinical features of achondroplasia? A: The patients have a disproportionate short stature- with a normal trunk, short arms and short legs. There is proximal shortening of the limbs (rhizomelic dwarfism). The average adult height is 4 feet. The head appears larger than the body, with a prominent forehead and flattened bridge of the nose. Teeth may be crowded with poor alignment. Spine is usually straight in the upper back with a marked lumbar lordosis. Abnormalities of the thoracolumbar vertebra may lead to kyphosis in infancy, which disappears once the child starts walking, but may cause

Diabetes Clinic Endocrinology Endocrinologists Diabetes and Other Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders Achondroplasia What is achondroplasia? Achondroplasia is a genetic (inherited) bone disorder that occurs in one in 20,000 live births. Achondroplasia is the most common type of dwarfism, in which the child's arms and legs are short in proportion to body length. Further, the head is often large and the trunk is normal size. The average height of adult males with achondroplasia is 52 inches (or 4 feet, 4 inches). The average height of adult females with achondroplasia is 49 inches (or 4 feet, 1 inch). What causes achondroplasia? Achondroplasia is inherited by an autosomal dominant gene that causes abnormal cartilage formation. Autosomal dominant inheritance means that the gene is located on one of the autosomes (chromosome pairs 1 through 22). This means that males and females are equally affected. Dominant means that only one gene is necessary to have the trait. When a parent has a dominant trait, there is a 50 percent chance that any child they have will also inherit the trait. So, in some cases, the child inherits the achondroplasia from a parent with achondroplasia. The majority of achondroplasia cases (80 percent), however, are the result of a new mutation in the family - the parents are of average height and do not have the abnormal gene. As mentioned, persons with achondroplasia have a 50 percent chance to pass the gene to a child, resulting in the condition. If both parents have achondroplasia, with each pregnancy, there is a 50 percent chance to have a child with achondroplasia, a 25 percent chance that the child will not inherit the gene and be of average height, and a 25 percent chance that the child will inherit one abnormal gene from each parent, which can lead to severe skeletal problems that often result in early death.

Community Advisor Search Send to a friend Home  Diseases, Conditions and Injuries Achondroplasia by Rick Alan Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations Definition Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that causes dwarfism (short stature). It is a disorder in which bone and cartilage do not grow normally. It is the most common cause of dwarfism. This condition leads to patients attaining a full-grown height of less than four feet. The greatest shortening occurs in the humerus (the bone between the shoulder and the elbow) and the femur (the bone between the hip and the knee). There may also be underdevelopment of the face. Achondroplasia is the most common form of inherited disproportionate short stature. It occurs in one in 15,000 to one in 40,000 live births. Causes Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder. It is caused by mutations in the FGFR3 gene that inhibits growth of cartilage at the growth plate. The result is that the growth of bones, which normally occurs in the cartilage of the growth plate, is slowed. This leads to shorter bones, abnormally shaped bones, and shorter stature. The gene for achondroplasia can be passed from one generation to the next. If a parent has the disorder there is a 50% chance of passing the gene for achondroplasia on to offspring (Autosomal Dominant Inheritance). In most cases of achondroplasia (80-90%), it more commonly is the result of a spontaneous mutation (a sudden genetic defect) that occurs in the developing embryo.

Paediapaedia: Musculoskeletal Diseases Achondroplasia Michael P. D'Alessandro, M.D. Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed Clinical Presentation: Short stature. Has mild hypotonia and slow motor development but eventually has normal intelligence and motor function. Narrowing of the foramen magnum can cause hydrocephalus, and cord compression is another possible symptom. Most common short limbed dwarf. Etiology/Pathophysiology: Disorder of tubular bone growth. Autosomal dominant. Pathology: Not applicable Imaging Findings: Rhizomelic limb shortening is seen. On plain film see short tubular bones with normal width and shortening of humerus compared to radius and ulna with flared metaphyses. Pelvis has a "champagne glass" appearance with square iliacs bones, broad flat acetabular roofs, and a small sciatic notch. Decreased distance between pedicles in lumbar spine is noted as you descend through it. The pedicles are shortened. Vertebral bodies are normal height but have concave posterior border. There is a large calvarium with prominent frontoparietal and occipital regions with a short skull base and mid face hypoplasia. DDX: Hypochondroplasia (milder) Thanatophoric dwarf (more severe in newborn) Pseudoachondroplasia (skull is normal and epiphyseal ossification is severely disturbed) References: See References Chapter.
