Description : Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II is characterized by intrauterine
growth retardation, severe proportionate short stature, and microcephaly. It is distinct
from Seckel syndrome (see 210600) by more severe growth retardation, radiologic abnormalities,
and absent or mild mental retardation (summary by Willems et al., 2010).;
