A member asked:
Is it possible for a dwarf parent to have an average-sized child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes : Achondroplastic dwarfs have a 50% chance of having a child without this disorder if the other parent is of normal height. If both parents have achondroplasia, there is still a 25% chance that their child will not have achondroplasia.
