Where can you get pamphlets about achondroplasia?

I am doing a presenatation at school about achondroplasia and we have to have pamphlets to give out explaining the disease and I need to find a place that will give me some pamphltes to pass out.

Have you emailed the March of Dimes? They would be able to send you a file in PDF format that you could copy.
They are the folks that specialize in providing education about this sort of thing....

sorry, i racked my brain about a pamphlet that I saw, but could not find it...
how about taking the information from the link i provided, and using print shop (or similar) and making your own pamphlet...
must be some extra credit in there somewhere...
good luck

So what is the cause of Achondroplasia?
A chemical change within a single gene causes Achondroplasia. It is not caused from anything the parents have done during pregnancy or before, the condition has started from a autosomal dominate condition. What this means is that a new mutation or genetic change has started during conception. The condition may also be passed on from one generation to the next; nine out of ten children born with this condition have average-sized parents. If one parent has Achondroplasia there is a 50% chance there child will inherit a single copy of the gene, if both parents have Achondroplasia there is a 25% chance the child will have a double dominant gene and a 75% chance of a single Achondroplasia gene: The gene is called FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR (FGFR3)

Related physical/neurological conditions
Children with this condition have a tendency towards middle-ear infections this may happen until five or six years of life, this may be due to abnormal drainage from the tube that leads from the middle ear to the throat. Respiratory problems can occur in infants and children, (due to narrowed nasal passages) A person with Achondroplasia should have the same life-span as a some one with out the condition. Hydrocephalus (water on the brain) can also develop in some cases of Achondroplasia. Children with Achondroplasia may reach motor milestones of development differently and more slowly than children without the condition e.g.: the child with Achondroplasia may take longer to sit up than a child with out the condition - but there are exceptions.
