Bone Dysplasias
Bone dysplasias are a group of genetic disorders that affect the growth and development of bones. These conditions can lead to abnormalities in bone size, shape, and density, resulting in various skeletal deformities. Some common types of bone dysplasias include achondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, and hypochondroplasia.
The severity and symptoms of bone dysplasias can vary widely among individuals. Some may experience mild issues, while others may face significant challenges, such as short stature or joint problems. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies and genetic testing to identify the specific type of dysplasia and guide management options.
