What Are The Symptoms Of Dysmorphism?
Question: Do you think my 15 month old daughter (center) looks dysmorphic? I've shown her with her siblings for comparison. Her development is 100% normal and I'm 100% sure of her paternity.
Brief Answer:
I find no dysmorphism.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and had a careful look at the image attached. I have not only looked carefully at the child under discussion (center) but also her siblings as well. Let me assure that I did not find anything dysmorphic her looks. The slant of her eyes and eye brows, the orientation of ears, the disposition of other parts - all seem normal to me. It might be that the elongation of her face and an apparently broad forehead makes it look odd, but I find it not as 'dysmorphic' but rather as a normal variation of face that happens between individuals. As she grows, the proportions of her face would change further. I do not think that yo uneed to worry about this aspect.
Regards
