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.
