Langer-Giedion syndrome
Is there support?
There is a US based support group, Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome Association, which offers an e-mail group at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/TRPSA (information about the use of online groups is available in our 'Medical Information on the Internet: Seeking Quality' article). This service is moderated. The Association is also in the process of developing and extending the support which they provide to include an annual family meeting, newsletter and website. If you do not have internet access please telephone our free phone helpline on 0808 808 3555.
