Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that affects bone growth, resulting in disproportionately short limbs compared to the trunk. This condition is caused by a mutation in the FGFR3 gene, which leads to impaired cartilage and bone formation in the growth plates of long bones. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms and complications associated with the condition.
