TYPE-I THANATOPHORIC DYSPLASIA: UNRAVELING A LETHAL SKELETAL DISORDER

Abstract

Type-I Thanatophoric Dysplasia is an uncommon and severe skeletal disorder characterized by abnormal bone development, leading to a lethal outcome shortly after birth. This research aims to unravel the complexities of Type-I Thanatophoric Dysplasia by conducting a comprehensive analysis of existing literature, clinical cases, and genetic data. The study delves into the disorder's pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and available management strategies. By gaining a deeper understanding of this lethal skeletal disorder, the research contributes valuable insights to the medical community for providing appropriate prenatal counseling, support, and potential therapeutic interventions to affected individuals and their families.

Keywords:
