Tapered fingers and broad thumbs, short forearms, flat feet, knock knees, scoliosis (curved spine)
Wide short skull, prominent forehead, wide-set eyes. Flat nose and small upper jaw.
Decreased bone density (osteopororsis). Brittle bones, tend to fracture.
Delayed loss of baby teeth and delayed appearance of adult teeth.
