| mesomelic dwarfism | Dwarfism with shortness of the forearms and lower legs. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| metatropic dwarfism | Congenital disproportionate dwarfism in which the trunk is long relative to the limbs at birth but undergoes reversal of this proportion with subsequent development. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondrodystrophic dwarfism | See: chondrodystrophy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Robinow dwarfism | Dwarfism associated with foetal face, acral dysostosis, and genital anomalies; there is also an autosomal recessive form. (05 Mar 2000) |
| micromelic dwarfism | Dwarfism with abnormally short or small limbs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phocomelic dwarfism | Dwarfism in which the diaphyses of the long bones are abnormally short or the intermediate parts of the limbs are absent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| physiologic dwarfism | Dwarfism characterised by normal development that is at a strikingly lesser rate than that for members of the same family, race, or other races. Synonym: primordial dwarfism, true dwarfism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pituitary dwarfism | Short stature due to underpreformance of the pituitary gland (specifically of the anterior pituitary). (12 Dec 1998) |
| polydystrophic dwarfism | <biochemistry, syndrome> An error of mucopolysaccharide metabolism due to deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulphatase B. It is characterised by excretion of dermatan sulfate in the urine, growth retardation, lumbar kyphosis, sternal protrusion, genu valgum, usually hepatosplenomegaly, and no mental retardation. Onset occurs after two years of age. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: polydystrophic dwarfism, mucopolysaccharidosis type VI. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Seckel dwarfism | <syndrome> An autosomal recessive disorder characterised by low birth weight, dwarfism, microcephaly, large eyes, beaked nose, receding mandible, and moderate mental retardation. Synonym: Seckel dwarfism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| senile dwarfism | Dwarfism characterised by craniofacial anomalies with progeroid appearance. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sexual dwarfism | Dwarfism with normal sexual development. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Silver-Russell dwarfism | <syndrome> A disorder characterised by low birth weight, late closure of the anterior fontanel, bilateral bodily asymmetry, clinodactyly of the fifth fingers, triangular facies, and carp mouth; little useful genetic evidence. Synonym: Silver-Russell dwarfism. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hypothyroid dwarfism | <endocrinology> Stunted body growth and mental development appearing in the first years of life resulting the inappropriate development of the thymus gland or inadequate maternal intake of iodine during gestation. (11 Jan 1998) |
| snub-nose dwarfism | Dwarfism characterised by low birth weight, snub nose, and stocky build; autosomal dominant inheritance. There is a similar autosomal recessive phenotype. Synonym: dominantly inherited Levi's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
