The Belangenvereniging van Kleine Mensen (BVKM)(English: Interest Association of Little People) is the Dutch Patients' Organization for little people and patients with skeletal dysplasia.[1][2] The association focuses on individuals with one or more of the two hundred medical conditions falling under the category of dwarfism.[3] Most members have a demonstrable growth disorder and are shorter than 155 cm.[4][5] Volunteers are responsible for the organization.
