Discussion Thanatophoric Dysplasia is a condition of unknown etiology with the majority of case reports being sporadic. Some authors have reported a dominant gene mutation to be associated with this condition. [jcdr.net]

The pathophysiology of thanatophoric dysplasia is notable. FGFR3 is a part of the tyrosine kinase receptor family. Usually, FGFR3 is a negative regulator of bone growth. [disabled-world.com]

Germline mosaicism has not been clearly documented but remains a theoretical possibility. [1, 2] Pathophysiology FGFR3 is part of the tyrosine kinase receptor family. Normally, FGFR3 is a negative regulator of bone growth. [emedicine.medscape.com]

These mutations can prevent your child’s bones from growing normally. While skeletal dysplasia runs in families, you can potentially pass the condition to your child even if you don’t have a known family history of it. [healthline.com]

Conclusion This case is published for its rarity and for highlighting the importance of early booking and anomaly scan ,early booking in this case would have prevented unnecessary mental agony to the mother for bearing a congenitally anomalous child. [pubs.sciepub.com]
