Achondrogenesis is a genetic rare disease that affects cartilage and bone development. The condition is characterized by narrow chest, rounded abdomen, and extremely short limbs. Achondrogenesis includes various symptoms such as, abdominal distention, flat face, anteverted nares, frontal bossing, lethal skeletal dysplasia, hydropsfetalis, abnormal enchondral ossification, and many others. According to the U.S National Library of Medicine, the incidence of 1A and 1B, whereas achondrogenesis type 2 occur in 1 in 40,000 to 60,000 newborns. Majorly three types of achondrogenesis are known and out of these three, type 1B (ACG1B) is most severe condition. According to an article published in GeneReviews book, it is found that SLC26A2 is the only mutated gene known to cause ACG1B.

A number of factors such as, rise in facilities for patients affected by rare diseases, increasing awareness among people, increasing government assistance, and improvement in regulatory framework are propelling the growth of achondrogenesis market. Presence of mutated gene in the family history is also fuelling up the market to a great extent. As per the information suggested by National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), achondrogenesis type 1A and type 1B occurs due to autosomal recessive inheritance which means each parent carry one copy of the mutated gene. However, it is also reported that achondrogenesis type 2 is an autosomal dominant disorder and typically found in people with no history of gene mutation in their family. Despite these drivers, there are some issues associated with achondrogenesis market. Challenges in research and development, and lack of skilled healthcare professionals in developing countries may hamper the growth of market.
It is estimated that achondrogenesis market is expected to grow at a CAGR 3.9% during the forecast period of 2017-2023.
