Who is Brenden Adams?
Brenden Adams holds the record for being the tallest teenager in the world. His father, Willie Adams, and mother, Debbie Ezell, first observed his extreme height condition when he was two months old. The condition is caused by a disorder with the 12th chromosome.
His activities include joining a middle school football team. In 2008, there was an attempt to halt Brenden's growth when he was 7'4.5" tall.
Adams' growth curve almost mimics that of Robert Wadlow's. Some doctors estimate he would have been over 8 feet tall if he kept growing constantly. After endocrinologist Dr. Gad Kletter's treatment with high dose testosterone, his growth was arrested.
