Achondrogenesis type I (MIM.200600) is historically known as the Parenti-Fraccaro type achondrogenesis. Achondrogenesis type 1B is caused in mutation in the SLC26A2 (DTDST) gene, coding for the DTD sulfate transporter (MIM.606718).

Etiology
Achondrogenesis type 1B is caused in mutation in the SLC26A2 gene, coding for the DTD sulfate transporter (MIM.606718).
SLC26A2 is also mutated in diastrophic dysplasia (MIM.222600), atelosteogenesis type 2, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 4 (EDM4).
