Achondroplasia was discovered in the year 1994 by a group of scientists led by Dr. John Wasmuth. According to findings, this type of dwarfism resulted from the mutation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 gene, which is part of the human chromosome 4. Today it affects at least one in every 25,000 live births.
your mom and i in bed
it was dr John Wasmuth in 1994
In 1994 Dr. John Wasmuth and his colleagues discovered that a mutation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR3) gene on human chromosome 4 causes achondroplasia.
There are no medications for achondroplasia
whats the name of the test that diagnoses achondroplasia
no Ellie Simmonds parents has not got achondroplasia
yes, achondroplasia is hereditary and if one of a parent has it you have 50% chance to inheriting it.
No
Yes ,we are looking for a cure for achondroplasia. Please help! Amita
Mutations in the FGFR3 gene are the cause for achondroplasia (short-limbed dwarfism).
Achondroplasia is caused by a mutation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene.
Yes People with achondroplasia can be born to parents that do not have the condition. This is the result of a new mutation.[2]
