Ways To Help Adam Article Manager Back Back to main Health Information page Disease - Achondroplasia Definition: Achondroplasia is a disorder of bone growth that causes the most common type of dwarfism Causes And Risk: 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 can be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, which means that if a child gets the defective gene from one parent, he or she will have the disorder. Prevention: Genetic counseling may be helpful for prospective parents when one or both have achondroplasia. Because achondroplasia usually arises as a spontaneous mutation, however, prevention is not always possible. Symptoms: Typical appearance of achondroplastic dwarfism is apparent at birth: Short stature Short limbs

Achondroplasia is a genetic (inherited) bone disorder that occurs in one in 25,000 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).

Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with achondroplasia is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.

86. Disease Reference - Achondroplasia Information achondroplasia. achondroplasia, in human physiology, is a type of inherited dwarfism that results in a large head and short limbs. http://www.disease-reference.com/Achondroplasia.htm

Achondroplasia Achondroplasia, in human physiology, is a type of inherited dwarfism that results in a large head and short limbs. Achondroplasia is caused by a simple dominant gene. However, inheriting the achondroplasia gene from both parents will result in a stillborn child. In about 80% of cases, the condition results from a mutation in the offspring of two genetically normal parents. New gene mutations are associated with increasing paternal age (over 35 years). Studies have demonstrated that new gene mutations are exclusively inherited from the father and occur during spermatogenesis (as opposed to resulting from a germline mosaicism). Growth hormone (GH) therapy has been proposed as a possible treatment for the short stature of achondroplasia. However, the people who participated in the studies on the subject have not yet reached adult size, so this type of therapy has unknown results. Early experience with surgical limb lengthening procedures resulted in a high incidence of complications, but recent experiences have improved results considerably. For the genetic details: More than 99% of achondroplasia is caused by two different mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). In about 98% of cases, the mutation is a Gly380Arg substitution, resulting from a G to A point mutation at nucleotide 1138 of the FGFR3 gene [Bellus et al 1995, Shiang et al 1994, Rousseau et al 1996]. About 1% of cases are caused by a G to C point mutation at nucleotide 1138.

No javascript support Search Links to Key Word Ideas Abnormal Achondroplasia Austri Beth ... Westri Achondroplasia Under current definitions, Achondroplasia is a " birth defect " because the syndrome or complex of signs of this disorder is present at birth. The term achodroplasia is inaccurate because it implies "lack" instead of "abnormal" cartilage. More accurate are the terms chodrodysplasia or chondrodystrophy which imply abnormal cartilage tissue formation and sustenance but these terms apply to many other disorders in addition to achondroplasia. In any case, "achondroplasia" is, for the time being, the most popular term, regardless of its etymology. Classic portrayals.

A limestone statuette of Chnoum-hotep from about 2700 BC shows a man with a large head, diminutive lower limbs, sort digits and upper limbs, lordosis and good muscular development.
