Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder that affects bone growth and results in dwarfism. It specifically affects the growth of cartilage at the epiphyses (ends) of long bones, leading to shorter limbs and overall stature. Torticollis, spina bifida occulta, and talipes are all different conditions unrelated to achondroplasia.
