Mesomelic shortness of stature is due to severe skeletal changes in the vertebrae, ankles, knees, and elbows. Patients affected present agenesis of the palate, broad nose, and a small mouth. Other radiological features include progressive intracarpal or intratarsal bone fusion, and fusion of metacarpal bones with proximal phalanges. The presence of ptosis, hypertelorism, abnormal soft palate, congenital heart defect, and ureteral anomalies complete the clinical presentation.
