Normally, due to the very pronounced and evident features presented by the patient a person can be easily identified with this disease at birth by clinical prognosis, however to 100% guarantee the condition and the specific cause of the dwarfism to be Achondroplasia. A diagnosis is done based on the typical clinical and radiologic features; the delineation from severe hypochondroplasia may be arbitrary. A basic approach for prenatal diagnosis of ACH homozygotes in families at risk and in which parents are heterozygous for either the 1138A or 1138C allele is the demonstration of a very small range of mutations triggering Achondroplasia and the ease with which they can be identified (1 PCR and 1 restriction digest). Due to the nature of Achondroplasia,  there is no known cure for the disease, however there are treatments to manage or possibly reduce the severity of symptoms during the developmental years of childhood. Treatment with injections of a synthetic version of the hormone may increase final height for people with dwarfism due to growth hormone deficiency. In most cases, infants are given regular shots for several years before they reach their full adult height, even within their family's average adult range.
