Prevention of Hypochondroplasia
Most cases of Hypochondroplasia are related to genetic factors that are inherited; it cannot be prevented.
Genetic testing of the expecting parents (and related family members) and prenatal diagnosis (molecular testing of the fetus during pregnancy) may help in understanding the risks better during pregnancy
If there is a family history of the condition, then genetic counseling will help assess risks, before planning for a child
Active research is currently being performed to explore the possibilities for treatment and prevention of inherited and acquired genetic disorders such as Hypochondroplasia
Regular medical screening at periodic intervals with tests, scans, and physical examinations are mandatory
