Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome

[Guest guest]

One thing I love about roaming the web is not only the news I may find on us but

also the many and varying conditions we may have as well. Rothmund-Thomson

syndrome is one of them and one I learned of today.

Now, short stature may be(?) a secondary trait or 'hallmark' of this condition,

but a I bet a couple or a few amongst us have it.

What is Rothmund-Thomson syndrome and its characersitcs?
