What Causes Abnormally Small Hands And Feet?
Question: what would cause a person to have small hands and feet...abnormally small?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Abnormally small hands and feet are seen associated with genetic malformations or some syndromes like Rett syndrome, Gottron syndrome, Robinow syndrome, Acrodysostosis, etc. Such a malformation is always present by birth and is not acquired.
Exact diagnosis needs a detailed physical examination and some tests like chromosomal study.

Wishing you good health.
