Cause of Achondroplasia The cause of achondroplasia can be categorized into two possibilities. There are two possible causes of achondroplasia. One possible cause is a genetic mutation of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene located on chromosome 4. Achondroplasia can also be inherited from a parent with the condition.chondroplasia can also be inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In these cases, one of the parents with achondroplasia passes on the FGFR3 gene to the child.

Impetigo Back to Top Causes. Impetigo is caused by streptococcus (strep) or staphylococcus (staph) bacteria. Methicillin-resistant staph aureus (MRSA) is becoming a common cause. The skin normally has many types of bacteria on it.When there is a break in the skin, bacteria can enter the body and grow there.This causes inflammation and infection.mpetigo is caused by streptococcus (strep) or staphylococcus (staph) bacteria.

Bronchospasm Bronchospasm are caused by a number of reasons. Lower respiratory tract diseases such as Pneumonia, Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and Emphysema can result in contraction of the airways. Other causes are side effects of topical decongestants such as Oxymetazoline and Phenylephrine.ronchospasm are caused by a number of reasons.

Paraphimosis Causes include the following: 1  Bacterial infection (e.g., balanoposthitis) 2  Catheterization (i.e., if the foreskin is not returned to its original position after a urethral catheter is inserted, the glans may become swollen, which can initiate paraphimosis) 3  Poor hygiene. 4  Swelling-producing injury. 5  Vigorous sexual intercourse.

Palpebral fissure It can be reduced (short) in horizontal size by fetal alcohol syndrome and in Williams syndrome. The chromosomal conditions trisomy 9 and trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) can cause the palpebral fissures to be upslanted, while Marfan syndrome can cause a downslant. The fissure may be increased in vertical height in Graves' disease, which is manifested as Dalrymple's sign.

- Impetigo is also caused by Streptococcus or Staphylococcus and can lead to lifting of the stratum corneum resulting in the commonly seen bullous effect.
