Acromicric dysplasia is an extremely rare inherited disorder characterized by abnormally short hands and feet, growth retardation and delayed bone maturation leading to short stature.
[2] Most cases have occurred randomly for no apparent reason (sporadically).
However, autosomal dominant inheritance has not been ruled out.
[3] This condition has been associated with mutations in the Fibrillin 1 (FBN1) gene.
[4] Mutations in this gene have also been associated with stiff skin syndrome, Marfan syndrome and its variant Marfanoid–progeroid–lipodystrophy syndrome, autosomal dominant Weill-Marchesani syndrome, isolated ectopia lentis, MASS phenotype, and Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome.
