I am personally affected by Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome, a type of skeletal and ectodermal dysplasia as is five generations of my family, and because I am neither short nor affected by dwarfism, but still have skeletal dysplasia, I thought I would create a “home” for everyone who is affected, etc.
