Organizing and summarizing search results for youAchondroplasia is a genetic disorder that causes a person to have short legs and arms, an enlarged head, and short fingers. A person’s ring and middle fingers may diverge, and this might give each hand a three-pronged appearance. The disorder is caused by a gene mutation in the receptor that converts cartilage to bone during fetal development. In a baby, the signs of achondroplasia may include shorter limbs, a larger head than is typical, and space between the middle and ring fingers.3 Sources
