Meckel's and condylar cartilages are key to mandible development, with Meckel's cartilage acting as a template and condylar cartilage as a growth center. In achondroplasia, the most common form of genetic dwarfism, abnormalities of these cartilages lead to micrognathia, with significant functional repercussions for affected individuals. How FGFR3 overactivation in achondroplasia disrupts Meckel's and condylar...
