What percentage of common lethal dysplasias are either thanatophoric or achondrogenesis?
60%
32
When is a dysplasia considered lethal?
Severe micromelia, decreased thoracic circumference, pulmonary hypoplasia
33
If you see 'consanguinity' on a req, what does it mean?
Couple are relatives (AR traits more prevalent)
34
What is the most common skeletal dysplasia?
Thanatophoric dysplasia
35
Thanatophoric dysplasia is a mutation of what?
FGFR3 (fibroblast growth factor receptor 3)
36
What are the lethal features of thanatophoric dysplasia?
Micromelia, Kleeblattschadel (clover-leaf skull), narrow throax, and platyspondyly
37
Which type of TD is most common?
Type I
38
What does Type I TD include?
Extreme rhizomelia, bowed bones, normal trunk length, platyspondyly, and frontal bossing
39
What does Type II TD include?
Straighter long bones, taller vertebral bodies, and Kleeblattshadel

In what plane can Type II Kleeblattschadel be seen best?
Through the axial planes of the fetal brain
41
What should the femur to foot ratio be in a normal fetus?
1
42
What does platyspondyly describe?
Thin vertebral bodies with thick intervertebral spaces
43
What can a narrow chest be referred to as?
Bell shaped chest
44
What is seen with achondrogenesis?
Decreased mineralization
45
Is achondrogenesis dominant or recessive?
Autosomal recessive (parents are often relatives)
46
Which type of achondrogenesis is most common at what percent?
Type II at 80%
47
Which type of achondrogenesis is more severe?
Type I
48
What is the main difference between the lethality's of Type I and II achondrogenesis?
Type I has abnormal cranial ossification while Type II has a normal cranium
49
What are the sonographic features of achondrogenesis?
Micromelia, small throax, decreased mineralization, fractures and bowing of limbs, and may have severe hydrops
