Interestingly, both the tallest lady and man champions are from Turkey – Rumeysa, and Sultan Kösen (251 cm; 8 ft 2.8 in) – an uncommon event in Guinness World Records history

Rumeysa Gelgi, tallest lady living Guinness records. She remains at 215.16cm (7ft 0.7in). Strangely, Rumeysa was re-estimated for the current year after she was first granted the title for the tallest young person living (female) back in 2014, when she was matured 18, according to the record site. Purportedly, her tall height is because of a condition called Weaver disorder, an incredibly uncommon condition that causes sped-up development among different anomalies, including skeletal development.

Because of the condition, Rumeysa utilizes a wheelchair more often than not, however, can move for brief periods utilizing a walker. While she loosens up by swimming, she jumps at the chance to go out for suppers with her family. Ever since her first title win, she has been using the medium to create awareness about rare medical conditions like her own.

According to  rarediseases.org, the specific reason for Weaver Syndrome is obscure. “A few analysts think, in light of the fact that there have been a few instances of somewhat influenced moms having children who are all the more seriously influenced, that Weaver Syndrome might be acquired as an autosomal prevailing attribute with a sexual orientation restricted articulation of indications, or an X-connected passive quality. Others feel that it could be an autosomal passive characteristic. Now and again there are no indications of heredity in a family and the reason is obscure,” it says.

As per Dr. Shuchin Bajaj, founder-director, Ujala Cygnus Group of Hospitals, Weaver Syndrome is portrayed by fast development which typically begins before birth (pre-birth beginning). “Actual development and bone turn of events (development) can happen more rapidly than normal. Different side effects can incorporate expanded muscle tone (hypertonia) with overstated reflexes (spasticity), slow advancement of deliberate developments (psychomotor hindrance), explicit actual attributes, as well as foot deformations,” he said.

“Treatment of Weaver Syndrome is suggestive and strong. An orthopedist can be counseled for the adjustment of foot deformations. Hereditary guiding might be good for patients and their families,” he added.
