The Father of Achondrogenesis

Achondrogenesis refers to a diverse group of generally lethal chondrodysplasias characterized by a short trunk, severe micromelia, and a disproportionately large cranium. Achondrogenesis is the second most common lethal short-limb dysplasia. The term achondrogenesis is actually a misnomer, as it implies that cartilage is not made. In this condition, cartilage is made but it is profoundly abnormal. Affected infants had a short trunk, extreme micromelia, and a disproportionately large cranium. Radio-graphically, they were demonstrated as having deficient spine ossification, short ribs with cupped and flared ends, and absent pubic and ischial ossification.The genetic condition is characterised by abnormalities in the skeletal system. There are chances that you would have a child with this disorder if both you and your partner carry this gene. Infants born with the condition are unable to breathe properly, and may not live without intensive medical support. That's how John had to live for over twenty years of his life. He was considered a miracle, having been able to survive for such a long period. He even founded a support group and helped lots of people with similar conditions. Many people calls him the father of Darwinism. I can do it for so long, then why can't you hold on! That's his motto in every session.
