Omodysplasia
Definition:
Autosomal recessive omodysplasia (OMOD1) is a genetic condition characterized by short-limbed short stature, craniofacial dysmorphism, and variable developmental delay. It is caused by mutations in glypican 6 (GPC6). An autosomal dominant form (OMOD2) involving only the upper limbs was later recognized as a separate disorder.
