Y-linked familial short stature

Y-linked familial short stature is a pseudo-autosomal dominant disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of a mutation in the pseudo-autosomal region of the x chromosome. Penetrance is variable even in the same family, so in the worst scenario affected member may develop Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis.

Symptoms

Growth retardation
Short stature is disproportionate with signs of mesomelia.
Dysmorphism
Skeletal deformities include mesomelic deformities, Madlung deformity of the wrist in particular.

Systematic

Short stature, SHOX-linked
Langer mesomelic dysplasia
Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis
X-linked familial short stature
