Re: Law and Order SVU tonight- achondroplasia & pseudoachodroplasia

[Guest guest]

This is an interesting transition to discussing genetics.

Yes, it would result in 25% chance of double dominance. My husband has

pseudoachondroplasia and I have achondroplasia. Recently, I posted my

interest in meeting others who have both genes as we will be planning

our second child in the next year or so. We already have one son with

my gene.

From my knowledge, there is some possibility of the birth of a child

with both being lethal-- that is with any dominant dwarfisms. But I've

also heard of healthy children and children with some complications.

Meredith Eaton has pseudoachodroplasia and her late husband had

achondroplasia.
