A member asked:
My friend is suffering from achondroplasia. what is the likelihood that he would be disabled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Achondroplasia: Like any other disease, achondroplasia severity varies in different patients. Mild forms just have their height affected-- short stature. Moderate to severe forms can have disability at different levels. No test can predetermine the severity. So your friend's body will tell us as time passes.
