Is Achondroplasia Dominant or Recessive?

Is Achondroplasia dominant or recessive i would like websites that give info if possible if u don't know what achondroplasia is it is dwarfism.

Unfortunately, it is dominant...

"Background: Achondroplasia is a common, nonlethal form of chondrodysplasia. It is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with complete penetrance. De novo mutations cause 75-80% of cases. The mutation rate is estimated to be 0.000014 per gamete per generation. Cardinal features include short stature, rhizomelic shortening of the arms and legs, a disproportionately long trunk, trident hands, midfacial hypoplasia, prominent forehead (frontal bossing), thoracolumbar gibbus, true megalencephaly, and caudal narrowing of the interpedicular spaces."

I included the website I found this in...Blessings

Dominant. Worse than that actually. Two copies of the gene are incompatible with life.
