Excerpt

Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) phenotype was first described in 1942 by Fuller Albright. AHO refers to a constellation of signs, including a round face, short stature with a stocky habitus, brachydactyly, subcutaneous ossification, and dental anomalies. Developmental delay, obesity (early-onset), and relative macrocephaly may be the additional features of AHO.
