Genetic workup included nondiagnostic chromosomal microarray and skeletal dysplasia molecular panels. These clinical findings are different from any recognized form of acrodysostosis syndrome. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Clinical Testing and Workup Prenatal fetal ultrasonography, an exam in which reflected sound waves create an image of the developing fetus, may potentially reveal intrauterine growth retardation and short long bones that are compatible with the diagnosis [rarediseases.org]

The future of treatment There is currently no typical approach to treatment. [acrodysostosis.org]

Management and treatment There is no specific treatment for acrodysostosis. [orpha.net]

Standard Therapies Treatment The treatment of acrodysostosis is directed toward the specific symptoms that are apparent in each individual. Treatment may require the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. [rarediseases.org]

Treatment - Acrodysostosis There are no standardized treatment protocols or guidelines for affected individuals. Due to the rarity of the disease, there are no treatment trials that have been tested on a large group of patients. [checkorphan.org]

Treatment: No specific treatment for acrodysostosis exist, up to date. Nevertheless, hormonal resistances, in particular to PTH and TSH, can be treated appropriately as in any other form of hypoparathyroidism and hypothyroidism. [iofbonehealth.org]
