Merge Virchow-Seckel syndrome here.

It is my oppinion that this is another case where a disease/condition has dozens of names and two independent users created an article for the same thing just under a different name. I would suggest a merger to whichever term would happen to be the most common. I also made a lot of redirects to one of the articles so to limit the creation of a duplicate article. My merger reasoning is based on the evidence at DiseasesDatabase and OMIM data and Who named it website (links are provided on both articles).

Do It. Though the articles differ greatly in content, it's obvious from the disease codes that they're the same thing.

I would remove all the bird and beak references from the other article, or at least reduce their prominence.

Is achondroplasia really a symptom?

The article claims that achondroplasia is a symptom of Seckel syndrome. As I understand these words, 'achondroplasia' cannot be a symptom of anything, and Seckel syndrome dwarfism is nothing like achodroplastic dwarfism. Should we remove achondroplasia as a symptom of Seckel syndrome? --Wasell^(T) 18:58, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it. --Wasell^(T) 20:34, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
