There are over 450 different types of skeletal dysplasias, but some of the most common include:
1. Achondroplasia: The most frequent form of short-limbed dwarfism, characterized by a normal trunk size but shorter limbs. 2. Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Known as "brittle bone disease," this condition results in bones that break easily, often with little or no apparent cause. 3. Thanatophoric Dysplasia: A severe form that often leads to death shortly after birth due to respiratory insufficiency. 4. Hypochondroplasia: Similar to achondroplasia but typically less severe, often diagnosed later in childhood.
