What is the nervous system that breakdown that is caused by an autosomal recessive allele?
achondroplasia
Can achondroplasia be passed on to offspring?
Yes. Most cases of achondroplasia are associated with a dominant mutant form of the FGFR3 gene. Thus, if someone with achondroplasia has children with a person without achondroplasia, 50% of the offspring would be predicted to inherit the disorder. If two people with achondroplasia were to have children, 50% would inherit acondroplasia (i.e. would be heterozygous for the mutant FGFR3 allele), 25% would be normal, and 25% would inherit two copies of the mutant FGFR3 allele, a condition which is almost certainly lethal.
Can Achondroplasia be detected before birth?
Yes, it can be detected before birth. Doctors can use an ultrasound to determine if the child is homozygous dominant or heterozygous, in which cases the child would be infected with Achondroplasia, because it is a dominant trait.
What is achondroplasia's karyotype?
