Achondrogenesis





Achondrogenesis

Treatment:

No treatment is available. Genetic counseling may be appropriate.


Expectations (prognosis):

The outcome is generally very poor. Many infants with achondrogenesis are stillborn or die shortly after birth because of breathing problems related to the abnormally small chest.


Complications:

This condition is often fatal early in life.


Calling your health care provider:

This condition is often diagnosed on the first examination of an infant.
