Type : Phenotype or locus, molecular basis unknown;
Alternative titles and symbols : Toxopachyosteose diaphysaire tibio-peroniere; Bowing of legs, anterior, with dwarfism;
Description : The diagnostic hallmarks of Weismann-Netter syndrome (WNS) are anterior bowing of
the diaphyses of the tibia and fibula, broadening or 'tibialization' of the fibula,
posterior cortical thickening of both bones, and short stature. The diaphyses of other
long bones may be similarly affected, but usually to a milder degree. Some WNS patients
have also displayed mental retardation (summary by Peippo et al., 2009).;
