Anchondroplasia
Type of dwarfism caused by a mutated FGF3 receptor. Dominant mutation. Double dominant children will die after a few months. Distrupts long bone growth leading to a short stature.

Fibrous Joints
Differentiating mesenchyme that joins bones together with fibrous tissue

Cartilage Joints
Forms from chondrocytes that form hyaline cartilage

Synovial Joints
Forms from cartilage condensations between bones
