How To Treat Acampomelic Campomelic Dysplasia Syndrome?

Hello. I am wondering if I might have just a 'bit' of the acampomelic campomelic dysplasia syndrome. I have 11 rib pairs and I have a connective tissue disorder, Reiter's syndrome. I am positive for the HLA-B27 gene. I have moderately severe scoliosis for which I am currently considering stabilization surgery. I am 63 years old. I do not have any of the other serious symptoms. I am just curious. Thank you.

Just treat the symptoms as they appear. Nothing else needs to be done. You are already 63 years, no problems anyway.
