Welcome to the KSG (Kniest SED Group) page for Kniest, Spondylometaphyseal Dysplasia (SMD), Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia (SED), and all variant forms of SED and SMD!
Do you or does someone you love have Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia (SED) or Spondylometaphyseal Dysplasia (SMD) or Kniest? This web site is designed to provide information about these medical conditions in clear and understandable English. Its purpose is to give people with these rare skeletal dysplasias support, information, and advocacy tools.
We are not doctors, but were born with rare conditions and have done a lot of our research. We hope to bring new people of short stature and their families into the Little People of America community as well as help individuals get the medical care they need. We work with medical providers help them research these rare conditions and foster appropriate research. The information on this website is for informational purposes only and no medical decisions should be based on its contents.
KSG Web site contents: We hope you will find what you need on the Kniest SED Web Site. If not please contact us.
