Information for Professionals

We are a non-profit, non-commercial organization based at an academic hospital and with an own clinic and laboratory. Our expertise includes clinical and radiographic assessment of growth disorders, including endocrine disorders as well as  skeletal dysplasias and genetic syndromes. We offer assistance in diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias rather than isolated gene tests, and we will be glad to help by reviewing the clinical features and looking at the radiographs to establish a proper differential diagnosis. Clinical and radiographic review may be carried out also within the ISDS email group or the ESDN web system. If you wish to have diagnostic assistance, contact Dr. Sheila Unger, Dr. Ekkehart Lausch, Prof. Bernhard Zabel, or Prof. Andrea Superti-Furga. Please note that we can make laboratory testing dependent on previous review.
