Achondroplasia

ACHONDROPLASIA is said to be less than 50 inches or less than 50 inches. Height Short limbs, torso of normal size, big head, indentation of nasal bridge, small face. This is the result of thyroid disease. It may also be caused by Down's syndrome or absorption, and fetal life is cartilage tissue. Low cartilage formation, mild dwarfism. Lack of spinal tuberculosis and pituitary secretion. Treatment with thyroxine or thyroid extract in early childhood results in normal growth and development.

Chondrogenic dysplasia is short dementia dwarfism. The term "achondroplasia" literally means "cartilage is not formed". Cartilage is a tough but flexible tissue that forms the majority of bone during early development. However, in achondroplasia, the problem is not to form cartilage, but to convert it into bone (a process called ossification), especially in long bones with arms and legs. Chondrogenesis is similar to another bone disease called achondroplasia, but the characteristics of achondroplasia are often more severe.

As the baby grows, the body tissue called cartilage often becomes the bone of most of the body. However, if a baby has achondroplasia, the arms and leg cartilage do not become bone as it is originally. Chondrogenic dysfunction is a common cause of dwarfism (also known as a villain), which is a very short condition (less than 4 feet 10 inches in adults). Gene mutations (also called mutations) cause chondroplasia. The gene is part of the body's cells, preserves instructions on how the body grows and how it works. The parents inherit the gene from the child. Genetic modification is a change in instructions within a gene. These changes can lead to congenital defects and other health conditions

If you or your partner is suffering from achondroplasia or if you are the parent of a child with achondroplasia, discuss the disease with the genetic counselor. The genetic counselor was trained to help understand how genes, birth defects, other medical conditions work in the household and how they affect health and baby's health It is a person. To find a genetic counselor, consult your health care provider or contact the National Genetic Counselor Association. If ultrasound shows these bone problems, your provider will have a prenatal diagnosis called amniocentesis (also known as amnio) to confirm that your baby has achondroplasia May be recommended. In amniotic fluid your health care provider takes amniotic fluid from around the baby in the womb. This test will check your baby's birth defects and genetic status
