The Roloffs have four children, three of whom are average height - Jacob, Jeremy, and Molly - and one which inherited Amy's achondroplasia - Zachary.
Of their 4 grandchildren born to the twins, Zach and Jeremy, two - Jackson and Lilah - also have achondroplasia, while Ember and Bode are of average stature. Although Jackson and Lilah's father Zach inherited his mother's achondroplasia, he has additional health issues.
As an infant, Zach had to have a skull shunt implanted to drain excess cerebrospinal fluid. So far, both Jackson and Lilah seem to have no additional health issues.
Achondroplasia is characterized by short stature, which in adults is considered under 4 feet 10 inches or under. Children with achondroplasia are charted consistently at less than 2 percentile in the height growth curve for their age.
