Help diagnose my son's condition!!!!!? |
My son has an undiagnosed genetic condition--first thoughts were a skeletal dysplasia--now not sure! Family history of shortness and arthritis--he also has mild scoliosis in the lumbar spine, plus compressed & bulging discs in the cervical & thoracic spine, he is 15 & is 4' 11", he has osteochondritis dissicans of both knees & ankles, he has flat feet, he has a rotated left tibia, and he is knock-kneed. He has a history of allergies to trees & pollen, asthma, & migraines. No history of deafness (hearing problems due to allergies), no eye problems--family history of severe near sightedness. Father's side carries the history/father's side is French. Mother's side is German/American Indian. Mother's side has history of extremely tall men. Son is also a fraternal twin--twin has Osgood Schlatter Syndrome and is ten inches taller, near sightedness, no asthma, no allergies. Can someone help diagnose this--anyone w/ similar symptoms or story? Genetic testing hasn't been done but MRI's were! There are dozens and dozens of genetic diseases. Without doing genetic testing, you may not be able to find out. hi my advice would be going with genetic testing.my husband has musular distrophy and we have 2 little girls,we found out through genetic tests and counseling,we are aware of our two girls might have an 50/50 chance of passing it to thier children if they have a boy..go figure.please in your best interest of your son go with gentic tests..good luck |
