Brachydactylous dwarfism, Mseleni type is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, short fingers and toes, and a distinctive facial appearance. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the protein fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Affected individuals typically have a short stature, short fingers and toes, and a distinctive facial appearance with a broad forehead, a flat nasal bridge, and a wide mouth. Other features may include a short neck, a prominent chin, and a small jaw.

The symptoms of Brachydactylous dwarfism, Mseleni type, include short stature, short limbs, short fingers and toes, and a short neck. Other features may include a prominent forehead, a flattened nose, a wide mouth, and a protruding lower jaw. Affected individuals may also have a small head, a short trunk, and a curved spine. Intellectual disability is common in individuals with this condition.

Brachydactylous dwarfism, Mseleni type is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for the protein fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). This mutation results in the abnormal development of bones, particularly in the hands and feet, leading to the characteristic short and stubby fingers and toes. Other symptoms of this disorder include short stature, facial abnormalities, and intellectual disability.

The treatments for Brachydactylous dwarfism, Mseleni type, are largely supportive and symptomatic. Treatment may include physical therapy to help improve mobility, occupational therapy to help with daily activities, speech therapy to help with communication, and orthopedic surgery to correct any skeletal deformities. Additionally, genetic counseling may be recommended to help families understand the condition and its implications.
