This website provides information on patients with mutations in the POC1A gene, including clinical data, molecular data, management and research options.

Mutations in the POC1A gene cause an autosomal recessive form of primordial dwarfism, called SOFT (short stature, onychodysplasia, facial dysmorphism, and hypotrichosis) syndrome.

This website was created to share and collect information about clinic, management and research projects to gather more knowledge and provide better treatment of patients with mutations in the POC1A gene.
