Growth and pubertal growth spurt in dysmorphic syndromes.
We describe peculiar aspects of growth and the pubertal growth spurt in dysmorphic syndromes, focusing our attention on the accelerated pubertal growth pattern in some dysmorphic syndromes leading to short stature (DSS). A normal pubertal growth spurt was observed in other dysmorphic syndromes leading to overgrowth (ODS).
