- Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that causes a person to have short legs and arms, an enlarged head, and short fingers123. A person’s ring and middle fingers may diverge, and this might give each hand a three-pronged appearance1. The disorder is caused by a gene mutation in the receptor that converts cartilage to bone during fetal development2. In a baby, the signs of achondroplasia may include shorter limbs, a larger head than is typical, and space between the middle and ring fingers3.

In the early stages of development, much of the fetal skeleton is made up of cartilage tissue, which turns into bone. Achondroplasia occurs when cartilage tissue doesn't develop in the bones of your arms and legs.

Achondroplasia can be detected before birth by prenatal ultrasound, although signs are often subtle and not apparent before the 24th week of pregnancy. A DNA test can be performed before birth to detect homozygosity, wherein two copies of the mutant gene are inherited, a lethal condition leading to stillbirths. Postnatal diagnosis of achondroplasia is typically uncomplicated, involving an …
