What is pseudoachondroplasia?

Also known as: PSACH, short-limb dwarfism.

Pseudoachondroplasia is a genetic condition that causes a form of dwarfism. The disease is present at birth, but it’s often not noticed until the child is three to five years old, as the symptoms do not become noticeable until the child begins to grow.
