message: Kenadie is reported to weigh 10 lbs in an ABC article (sorry, can't find it), so the statement that she will "never weigh more than 8 lbs" should be corrected.   —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.134.114.107 (talk) 03:32, August 21, 2007 (UTC) 
I've deleted "She will never be any taller than 30 inches, or weigh any more than 9 lb." If someone wants to put it in the article that "so and so says that ...", I won't object, but it's not verifiable facts; it's someone's opinion.--Prosfilaes 15:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

They live up to 30, or more if they stay healthy. ~SMZ Apr.6,08 11:23pm
What a non-helpful comment! 'Up to 30'!?! What happens then, the MOPD fairy comes and takes them away? While it is true that 'average' life expectancy for patients with Primordial Dwarfism is low, due to many, many factors, it is at the moment unknown what the true life expectancy of these individuals is. Recent discoveries about the underlying cause of MOPD may be helpful in the future in shedding more light on this subject. The gene that was identified as the source of mutation for MOPD (the PCNT gene) is integral to DNA repair during cell division, so it seems likely that aging will be impacted (as cells divide over and over, the imperfect copying of DNA could result in cellular damage or even cell death). However, until further study can determine the extent of the genetic impact on aging, it is impossible to give an accurate life expectancy.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.73.199.69 (talk) 13:55, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Opening paragraph says PD is usually diagnosed in the womb.  Later in the article it states in most cases PD is not diagnosed until the child is sometimes as old as five.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.10.220.48 (talk) 19:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: I disagree with the prevalence numbers of 200 cases worldwide quoted, for Silver Russell Syndrome alone the prevalence is estimated to be between 1 in 100,000 and 1 in 3,000 () giving worldwide figures of between 2million and 60,000. It is hard to find good figures for rare diseases such as these.
Also, as two of the subtypes are characterised by larger heights (sometimes around 4 1/2 feet or 135cm I believe) should this be mentioned in either this article or the main subtypes, maybe if someone can find reliable figures they could add them. Any comments? Cjeam (talk) 23:58, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
