Achondroplasia is a rare genetic (inherited) bone disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 to 40,000 live births. Achondroplasia is the most common type of dwarfism, in which the child's arms and legs are short in proportion to body length. Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disease. Approximately 80% of achondroplasia cases result from a new mutation in families. In the U.S. approximately 10,000 individuals are estimated to have achondroplasia. The prevalence of achondroplasia in the U.S. ranges from .36 to 0.60 per 10,000 live births. Achondroplasia accounts for 90% of dwarfism or disproportionate short stature. Worldwide prevalence of achondroplasia was found to be 1 in every 25,00030,000 individuals. That, in turn, translates into around 250,000 affected persons worldwide. The condition affects men and women equally.
