Genetic Counselor’s Report
- The defect is based on a dominant gene so if any parent has the trait the child has a 50% chance of inheriting the gene. If both parents have it then there is a 75% chance that it will be inherited.
- If both parents have Achondroplasia and both give the gene with the defect then the offspring will have very severe problems with bone development and if they do manage to be born usually die very early because of respiratory failure.
