A member asked:

Have one girl 6 yrs,normal, aborted in boy 20 weeks, thanataphoric achondroplasia, i read it is gene mutation, how much risk of recurrence,possiblity?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No difference: Sorry to hear that. Risk of recurrence for parents who have had one affected child is not significantly increased over that of the general population. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1366/
