Organizing and summarizing search results for youAchondroplasia, the most common form of skeletal dysplasia, is caused by a genetic mutation. It impairs bone growth in the limbs and causes abnormal growth in the spine and skull. While most cases are not inherited, if one parent passes down the gene, the child can be born with achondroplasia. If both parents have achondroplasia, there is a 25% chance of the child being born with homozygous achondroplasia, which leads to stillbirth or death shortly after birth.2 Sources Achondroplasia: Symptoms, Treatment, Causes & Diagnosis
