Welcome from the Clinical Director,
Dr. Julie Hoover-Fong

The Kathryn and Alan C. Greenberg Center for Skeletal Dysplasias is part of the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In our Skeletal Dysplasia Clinic, we offer comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, genetic counseling, and psychological and social support for our patients and their families. We also coordinate care among the many specialty clinics at Johns Hopkins with particular expertise in the care of individuals with all forms of skeletal dysplasias. These specialty clinics include anesthesiology, ENT, neurosurgery, OB/GYN, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, and pulmonology (Johns Hopkins Skeletal Dysplasia Experts). We are dedicated to the medical care and education of persons with skeletal dysplasias, and to the clinical and laboratory investigations into these disorders. We strive to improve the quality of life for persons of short stature, and further medical knowledge about the many causes of dwarfism.
