[tri-med] foot length

I'm taking a class in neonatal intensive care right now from Indiana  
University, and a question has come among us.  Our textbook states, "One  quick 
and 
effective way to estimate gestational age is by measuring foot  length.  Foot 
length of appropriate-for-gestational-age preterm infants has  been correlated 
with gestational age." My question is, do you know of trisomies  that present 
with altered foot length/shape. Don't some trisomy kids have rocker  bottom 
feet?
Thanks!

Strengthen my  tiny wings,
Help me to take on the world,
When you love me,
There's  nothing I wouldn't try,
I might even fly.
