Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. This condition is caused by a mutation in the FGFR3 gene which is responsible for making fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 protein. This protein is involved in the conversion of cartilage into bone. What happens to individuals having a single copy of the FGFR3 gene mutation?
