this article is written really horribly, it implies that if there are no spinal defects the cat is perfectly fine, ignoring the increased likelihood of lordosis, and acting like the fact that it's homozygous lethal means it's totally not a dangerous gene or anything. also since it's not exactly like human achondroplasia it's not concerning
