Dr. John Wasmuth discovered achondroplasia in the early 20th century while studying skeletal dysplasias. He identified the condition through clinical observations of patients exhibiting disproportionate short stature and characteristic skeletal features. His research contributed to the understanding of the genetic basis of achondroplasia, linking it to a specific mutation in the FGFR3 gene. This foundational work helped establish the medical framework for diagnosing and studying the condition.

Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder - which means it can skip a generation, but only if it is carried in the female line.A female can be a carrier of haemophilia, but a male cannot. This is because males only have one X chromosome, so if they have a defective X they will have the disorder. If a father has haemophilia, all of his daughters will also have haemophilia.
yes it can skip a generation, since it is a Mendel inheritance. and it is a reccesive trait. therefore offspring's can have two unaffected parents but chances are both parents might be carriers
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
