How is the diagnosis made?

Metatropic dysplasia is diagnosed by its characteristic clinical features such as the coccygeal tail, normal facies, spinal problems and limb shape. Radiographic features also help with diagnosis. Being a rare disorder with few reports in the medical literature, consultation with an experienced clinical geneticist may be required before a diagnosis is made.
