Abstract excerpt
Achondroplasia (ACH) is a skeletal disorder caused by fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) variants. Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), bone microarchitecture, and strength have not been evaluated in these patients previously. This study aims to evaluate vBMD, bone microarchitecture, and strength in ACH patients. Seventeen patients underwent clinical and biochemical evaluations, and genetic testing....
