Short Stature and Skeletal Dysplasia

Assessment is available both for short stature due to inherited problems in growth hormone production and function as well as disproportionate short stature which is due to an abnormality in the skeletal development. Some examples of skeletal problems and short stature syndromes that we deal with include:

Achondroplasia

Hypochondroplasia

Lethal skeletal dysplasias

Morquio disease

Growth hormone deficiency

Syndromic short stature like Seckel syndrome, Rubinstein Taybi syndrome and others
