Achondroplasia is a rare genetic disorder affecting bone growth, causing significant short stature, known as dwarfism. This condition is attributed to a fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene mutation. The mutation results in an overactive FGFR3 gene, leading to a slowdown in bone formation within the cartilage of the growth plate and hindering the growth of nearly all bones throughout the body.
According to DelveInsight’s estimates, in 2022, there were nearly 29K diagnosed prevalent cases of achondroplasia in the 7MM. These cases will change during the study period (2019–2032). The US accounted for approximately 14K diagnosed prevalent cases of achondro...
