Achondroplasia is the most common skeletal dysplasia. It results in Rhizomelic dwarfism (the dominant feature is proximal (i.e. femoral and humeral) limb shortening). Characterized by disproportionate dwarfism (normal sized torso & short limbs). Results from a defect in endochondral bone formation (cartilage doesn’t convert to bone) - Patients are of normal intelligence with normal motor function.
