PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Dwarfism, achondroplastic
A genetic disorder of bone growth, achondroplasia is the most common cause of short stature with disproportionately short limbs -- dwarfism with short arms and legs. There is a typically large head with prominence of the forehead (frontal bossing), underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the midface with cheekbones that lack prominence, and a low nasal bridge with narrow nasal passages. The fingers are short and the ring and middle fingers diverge giving the hand a trident (three-pronged) appearance.
Dwarfism, pituitary
Dwarfism caused by a lack of growth hormone, usually due to malfunction of the pituitary gland. Children with growth hormone deficiency may grow normally for the first two to three years of life but they then fall behind their peers in height. They are normally proportioned. This is a key point. Treatment is with human growth hormone given in childhood. Also known as hypopituitary dwarfism, hypopituitarism, panhypopituitarism, and growth hormone deficiency.
Dwarfism, thanatophoric
A form of short-limbed (micromelic) dwarfism that usually causes death within the first few hours after birth. Thanatophoric dysplasia is due to a lethal mutation (change) in the same gene that produces achondroplasia, a familiar and far more common form of short-limbed dwarfism that is compatible with life.
Dx
Abbreviation standing for diagnosis, the determination of the nature of a disease.
DXM

Dynacin

DYS
Symbol for familial dysautonomia or a prefix denoting an inability or lack of function, as in dyspraxia (lack of ability to adequately control muscle movements).
Dyscrasia
Any disease condition, especially in hematology, as in "blood dyscrasias."
Dysentery, amebic
