message: Aside from short stature, I wonder if and to what extent achondroplasia is accompanied by orthopedic problems, such as commonly occur in diastrophic dysplasia?  These do cause disability, and if they are common in achondroplasia, that might affect the debate above about terminology.  Also, if disabilities are common, the incidence (or absence of disability, if not?) would be useful to mention in the article.  Wwheaton (talk) 00:40, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: In animals, associated health issues are both severe and common (arthritis, for ex). Unfortunately I am completely unversed in related study in humans, so I would be disinclined to make these kind of changes (animal issues while perhaps pertinent would be unbalanced without accompanying human data given the structure of the article IMO). If someone has human data I can add animal data tho. Jaydubya93 (talk) 20:20, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi! As noted above, I'm a COI editor for BioMarin Pharmaceutical, the manufacturer of a treatment for achondroplasia. I’m suggesting that achondroplasia in children be merged into this article. It looks like this article is better maintained, better sourced, and more current, and I think the content is too similar to warrant a split – i.e., most folks would expect to find information about achondroplasia in children as part of this achondroplasia article. It would also be easier to ensure one article is well maintained and avoid inconsistencies between the two articles. Plus, both articles combined total approximately 34KB, not enough to justify division according to WP:SIZERULE. 
Thanks for your feedback. Mary Gaulke (talk) 00:05, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

text: *Oppose per Ozzie. I think the content needs to be in two separate articles, owing to the unique nature of the content relating to each age group, which would seem to me to be independently notable topics. Tom (LT) (talk) 04:13, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
