Charts describing the height for age of 56 boys and 36 girls, ages 3 to 24 years, with Prader-Willi syndrome are available. CDC charts should be used to evaluate weight for height (or BMI for age) and weight for age for all children with Prader-Willi syndrome. Holm VA. Growth charts for Prader-Willi syndrome. In Greenswag LR and Alexander RC, eds: Management of Prader-Willi Syndrome 2nd ed., New York: Springer-Verlag; 1995. Are there growth charts for children with Noonan syndrome? Growth charts are available for 0-24 year old males (n=64) and females (n=48) with Noonan syndrome. Use these charts in conjunction with CDC charts. Witt DR et al. Growth curves for height in Noonan syndrome. Clinical Genetics 1986; 30:150.
