<unk>  is caused by a specific gene mutation in the FGFR3 gene. The mutation arises randomly; there is no full understanding for what causes this mutation. This mutation causes the FGFR3 protein to be overly active; it interferes with normal bone growth, and allows skull bones to fuse prematurely. There is no connection between anything mother did (or did not do) to activate the syndrome. If neither of the parents have<unk> , chances of having another child with the syndrome are minimal. This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. This means if a parent has<unk> , every newborn has a 50% chance of inheriting the syndrome.
