AB  - Achondroplasia  is  the  most  common  form  of  short-limbed  dwarfism.  It  is  characterized  by  short-limbed  dwarfism,  macrocephaly,  frontal  bossing,  a  low  nasal  bridge,  and  midface  hypoplasia.  Skeletal  malformations  may  include  brachydactyly,  lordosis,  genu  varum,  and/or  stenosis  of  the  spine.  Additional  abnormalities  may  include  limited  extension  of  the  elbows  and  hips,  hypotonia,  and  frequent  otitis  media.  In  most  cases  achondroplasia  appears  sporadically.
