TREATMENT Treatment for Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type 1 is symptomatic depending on the features of an individual. [evolvegene.com]

Management and treatment There is no specific treatment for the enzyme defect. Prognosis Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia has a severe prognosis with death generally occurring during the first decade of life, mainly due to respiratory complications. [orpha.net]

Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment is available beyond supportive measures. Cataract removal may improve vision but the poor prognosis for longevity requires caution be used. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

TREATMENT There is no current cure for RCDP. Treatment is supportive and many include physical therapy, anti-seizure medication, hearing amplification, and cataract removal. [secure.ssa.gov]
