In a population with 9.5 million births in 40 years, 86 children diagnosed with achondroplasia, an autosomal dominant condition, were born to parents unaffected by this condition. Assuming that these cases were new mutations, what would be the estimated mutation rate for the achondroplasia locus (FGFR3). Can it be considered whether the data obtained is high or low? explain
