Acromesomelic Dysplasia, Hunter-thompson Type; Amdh

Description

The Hunter-Thompson type of acromesomelic dysplasia is characterized by skeletal abnormalities restricted to the limbs; the craniofacial skeleton and axial skeletal structures are normal. The severity of the long bone shortening progresses in a proximal to distal direction. The hands and feet are most severely affected, but the distal phalanges are relative normal. Affected individuals have joint dislocations but the number of joints involved is not constant (summary by Thomas et al., 1996).
