Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Hi Janet, I don't think I replied to you before, but your is about the same size as Storm (age 5y 10m). He is 39 " tall and 31.5 pounds. When is her birthday? Does she have the other RSS features? (crooked pinkies, small face, asymmetry, etc....) I would suggest that you see an Endocrinologist, they seem to know more about RSS than most geneticists do. Sorry it took me so long to reply.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Hi Carmen, It's nice to hear from you. is a little bit younger than Storm, her birthday is in January (she's about a week younger than ). She does (I think) have some of the RSS traits, such as, weak muscle tone, VERY late closure of her fontanelle (she was about 4 1/2 when it finally closed), delayed bone age, developmental delays, missing (therefore, presumably crowded) teeth and a sweaty head when she was younger. She doesn't have the crooked pinkies but they are small (I compared them with those of her 3 yr old sister) and her fingers all curl slightly which I have seen listed as an Rss trait. She also has a simian crease in one palm (which I think I may you may have said that Storm has?). No one has ever tried to find any assymetry but she doesn't have any that is obvious. The endocrinologist at our local hospital is a fairly recent arrival. He is the one that and have seen and he does not seem terribly keen to diagnose RSS. We will try to see him at some stage. I have written to Dr H but I haven't had a reply yet. I've put some photos of on one of those Growthspurts websites since there's not much room in the files of this group. I'll do a separate message with how to access them after this. Maybe you can tell me whether you think she looks RSS. I don't she does so much now but that she did when she was younger.
