Potential Achondroplasia

2017-11-20 02:46:41
My son is 12 months old. At his 1 year old check up, he was found to only be in the 1st percentile for height, while his head circumference was in the 76th percentile. He also has a slight deformity in his toes, being that his second toe on both feet overlap the great toe and third toe.

Complete evaluation is required to diagnose achondroplasia. Only percentile will not help in this regard. Overall growth pattern and any other examination finding will help more. After that specific chromosomal study is required for before labelling any condition.
