Background: Achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are more frequent types of skeletal dysplasia. De novo mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene are the principal cause. More than 95% of the cases of achondroplasia result from a mutation G1138A (Gly380Arg). In hypochondroplasia we usually (50–70%) found the change C1620A y C1620G, N540K (Asn540Lys).Objective and hypotheses: We describe an skeletal dysplasia...
