Hunter-Thompson type acromesomelic dysplasia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the GDF5 gene. The disorder is characterized by severe dwarfism, hypomelia, and deformation of both limbs, and various other bone anomalies can be present. Typically, the shortening of the limbs progresses from proximal to distal.
