What is achondroplasia's karyotype?

Was achondroplasia one example of autosomal inheritance pattern?

Yes, achondroplasia is an example of an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. This means that only one copy of the mutated gene needs to be inherited to display the condition.

Studies have demonstrated that new gene mutations for achondroplasia are exclusively inherited from the father and occur during spermatogenesis.

What type of inheritance is achondroplasia?

Achondroplasia is inherited by the parents as a dominant disease. It occurs from a defect in the FGFR3 gene. It usually occurs spontaneously. if both parents have the disease they have a 25% chance of having a normal sized child, a 50% chance of having a child with Achondroplasia, and a 25% chance of the child getting both genes from each parent which results in death.

What are the risk factor of achondroplasia?

Achondroplasia is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in the FGFR3 gene and is mostly inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The most significant risk factor is advanced paternal age, as older fathers are more likely to pass on the mutation. Additionally, having a family history of achondroplasia increases the risk of having affected children. Environmental factors do not play a significant role in the development of this condition.
