Achondroplasia is a genetically determined disease caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the FGFR3 receptor. We have attempted to describe the biological causes of achondroplasia, addressing those issues in human biology that are necessary to understand the reasons for short stature. We also describe the chances and mechanisms of inheriting this disease. In addition, the description of the structure of a small child and his or her physical abilities which is included in the article will be helpful for the parents and in educational institutions. The children can function well in pre-school and school environments, as there are no indications for individual teaching. However, they may struggle with social and emotional difficulties, as short stature may cause problems with self-esteem, and may also be a barrier in building peer relationships. A holistic view of a child affected by achondroplasia is important to honestly support their development and education.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":165431,"journal":{"name":"Men Disability Society","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124336973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
