Achondroplasia primarily affects the bones, particularly the long bones of the limbs, leading to disproportionate short stature and characteristic skeletal features. While it primarily involves the skeletal system, other organs can be indirectly affected due to the resulting body structure, such as the spine and respiratory system, potentially leading to complications like spinal stenosis or sleep apnea. However, the condition does not typically cause direct dysfunction of other organs.
