Clinical and Genetic Evaluation of the Neonate with Skeletal Dysplasia
Chapter
Abstract
In the skeletal dysplasias a firm diagnosis is essential for meaningful prognostication and effective genetic counseling. This is usually dependent upon the accumulation and correlation of information from a number of sources and as several of the skeletal dysplasias are potentially lethal the opportunity to obtain objective evidence may be fleeting. In these circumstances, a full clinical, genetic, and radiographic evaluation is imperative.
