Medical Information Primordial Dwarfism Where We Were: A Little Bit of History Where Are We Now Medical Personnel - Dr. Judith Hall ... Questionnaire Primordial Dwarfism Estimates of the number of individuals with dwarfism in the United States range from 100,000 to 500,000. Most cases of short stature are caused by skeletal or endocrine disorders. Including all known types, there are currently over 200 types of dwarfism, primordial dwarfism included. PRIMORDIAL DWARFISM (PD) IS A DIAGNOSTIC CATEGORY INCLUDING VARIOUS SPECIFIC TYPES OF SEVERE PROPORTIONATE DWARFISM IN WHICH INDIVIDUALS ARE SMALL FOR THEIR CHRONOLOGICAL AGE FROM THE VERY BEGINNINGS OF LIFE. Individuals with primordial dwarfism usually come to attention even before they are born. Most are diagnosed by ultrasound as small for gestational age (SGA) or as having intra uterine growth retardation (IUGR). Consequently, they are born at extremely low birth weights (less than 4 pounds). After birth, growth occurs at an extremely slow rate leaving affected individuals years behind their peers in size. Individuals with primordial dwarfism measure well below the 3rd percentile on standardized growth charts.

Header(1, "H2", "Dwarfism") Achondroplasia, by far the most common form of dwarfism, occurs in one in every 20,000 births in the United States. It is a developmental anomaly that affects the growth of the bones. The patient's trunk is usually normal, but the head is unusually large and the arms and legs unusually small. Those who reach adulthood do not suffer any lessening of their mental or sexual abilities, and may have unusual muscular strength. Achondroplasia does not significantly shorten life span. There are more than 320 medical conditions known as dwarfism. A detailed study of dwarfism is outside the scope of this Web site. There are several good sites that address this medical condition. The Billy Barty Foundation Billy Barty, who also founded Little People of America, passed away in December 2000. The Billy Barty Foundation was founded in 1975.

Dwarfism in Labradors For many years there has been a known genetic link between eye defects known as "Focal Retinal Dysplasia" and skeletal abnormalities known as dwarfism. The particular combination of symptoms is mainly found in field trial strains of Labrador retrievers. Retinal dysplasia is the most important retinal disease affecting Labrador Retrievers used for hunting and field trial work. Retinal dysplasia is a widespread inherited condition in the Labrador. During CERF clinics in Minnesota, there is a 10 to 20% incidence in the Labradors examined. Most dogs have the mild form of the disease. The condition is congenital and may or may not be associated with retinal detachment depending on the extent. (It is relatively uncommon in lines of Labradors used for conformation work.) It is important to be aware of this eye disease. Retinal dysplasia involves abnormal development of several structures of the visual system. Dogs may be very mildly affected and demonstrate folds in the retina. These are areas where extra retina develops and instead of forming a thin membrane over the back surface of the eye, the extra retina develops into folds. This fold results in a blind spot. Often times the retina is also
