Schwartz-Jampel syndrome: Encyclopedia of Genetic Disorders |
 | | Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is a rare, inherited condition of the skeletal and muscle systems that causes short stature, joint limitations, and particular facial features. |
| | In addition to muscle problems, the bones in the skeleton do not develop normally and this is why SJS may also be called a type of skeletal dysplasia. |
| | Abnormal bone shape and poor bone growth result in decreased total height, incorrect arm and leg postures, as well as curving of the spine (scoliosis). |
