Welcome!

Hello, Klshetler, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

You can find answers to many student questions on our Q&A site, ask.wikiedu.org

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:51, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

peer review for achondroplasia

The section you added about the causes and mutation in the gene is very informative; I saw in one of your sandbox edits you were writing about the chances of a child inheriting the mutation and I think it might be helpful to include some of those numbers in the article, such as "the child has 50% chance of having achondroplasia if both parents have it or if they are carriers" or whatever the inheritance pattern is. Also, if you need more material to include, you could start a section on complications caused by achondroplasia because I know that there are many health issues that have to be monitored later in life.Youngal97 (talk) 00:58, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
