Diaphyseal medullary stenosis with malignant fibrous histiocytoma (DMS-MFH) is an autosomal dominant bone dysplasia/cancer syndrome of unknown etiology. This rare hereditary cancer syndrome is characterized by bone infarctions, cortical growth abnormalities, pathological fractures, and eventual painful debilitation. Notably, 35% of individuals with DMS develop MFH, a highly malignant bone sarcoma. A genome scan for the DMS-MFH gene locus in three unrelated families with DMS-MFH linked the syndrome to a region of approximately 3 cM on chromosome 9p21-22, with a maximal two-point LOD score of 5.49 (marker D9S171 at recombination fraction [theta].05). Interestingly, this region had previously been shown to be the site of chromosomal abnormalities in several other malignancies and contains a number of genes whose protein products are involved in growth regulation. Identification of this rare familial sarcoma-causing gene would be expected to simultaneously define the cause of the more common nonfamilial, or sporadic, form of MFH-a tumor that constitutes approximately 6% of all bone cancers and is the most frequently occurring adult soft-tissue sarcoma.  (+info)

Ultrasound screening for hips at risk in developmental dysplasia. Is it worth it? (4/360)

Between May 1992 and April 1997, there were 20,452 births in the Blackburn District. In the same period 1107 infants with hip 'at-risk' factors were screened prospectively by ultrasound. We recorded the presence of dislocation and dysplasia detected under the age of six months using Graf's alpha angle. Early dislocation was present in 36 hips (34 dislocatable and 2 irreducible). Of the 36 unstable hips, 30 (83%) were referred as being Ortolani-positive or unstable; 25 (69%) of these had at least one of the risk factors. Only 11 (31%) were identified from the 'at-risk' screening programme alone (0.54 per 1000 live births). Eight cases of 'late' dislocation presented after the age of six months (0.39 per 1000 live births). The overall rate of dislocation was 2.2 per 1000 live births. Only 31% of the dislocated hips belonged to a major 'at-risk' group. Statistical analysis confirmed that the risk factors had a relatively poor predictive value if used as a screening test for dislocation. In infants referred for doubtful clinical instability, one dislocation was detected for every 11 infants screened (95% confidence interval (CI) 8 to 17) whereas in infants referred because of the presence of any of the major 'at-risk' factors the rate was one in 75 (95% CI 42 to 149). Routine ultrasound screening of the 'at-risk' groups on their own is of little value in significantly reducing the rate of 'late' dislocation in DDH, but screening clinically unstable hips alone or associated with 'at-risk' factors has a high rate of detection.  (+info)

Localization of the gene for sclerosteosis to the van Buchem disease-gene region on chromosome 17q12-q21. (5/360)

Sclerosteosis is an uncommon, autosomal recessive, progressive, sclerosing, bone dysplasia characterized by generalized osteosclerosis and hyperostosis of the skeleton, affecting mainly the skull and mandible. In most patients this causes facial paralysis and hearing loss. Other features are gigantism and hand abnormalities. In the present study, linkage analysis in two consanguineous families with sclerosteosis resulted in the assignment of the sclerosteosis gene to chromosome 17q12-q21. This region was analyzed because of the recent assignment to this chromosomal region of the gene causing van Buchem disease, a rare autosomal recessive condition with a hyperostosis similar to sclerosteosis. Because of the clinical similarities between sclerosteosis and van Buchem disease, it has previously been suggested that both conditions might be caused by mutations in the same gene. Our study now provides genetic evidence for this hypothesis.  (+info)

Identification of the Finnish founder mutation for diastrophic dysplasia (DTD). (6/360)

Diastrophic dysplasia (DTD) is especially prevalent in Finland and the existence of a founder mutation has been previously inferred from the fact that 95% of Finnish DTD chromosomes have a rare ancestral haplotype found in only 4% of Finnish control chromosomes. Here we report the identification of the Finnish founder mutation as a GT-> GC transition (c.-26 + 2T > C) in the splice donor site of a previously undescribed 5'-untranslated exon of the diastrophic dysplasia sulfate transporter gene (DTDST); the mutation acts by severely reducing mRNA levels. Among 84 DTD families in Finland, patients carried two copies of the mutation in 69 families, one copy in 14 families, and no copies in one family. Roughly 90% of Finnish DTD chromosomes thus carry the splice-site mutation, which we have designated DTDST(Fin). Unexpectedly, we found that nine of the DTD chromosomes having the apparently ancestral haplotype did not carry DTDST(Fin), but rather two other mutations. Eight such chromosomes had an R279W mutation and one had a V340del deletion. We consider the possible implications of presence of multiple DTD mutations on this rare haplotype.  (+info)

Terminal osseous dysplasia with pigmentary defects maps to human chromosome Xq27.3-xqter. (7/360)

We have identified a four-generation family with 10 affected females manifesting one or more of the following features: osseous dysplasia involving the metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges leading to brachydactyly, camptodactyly, and other digital deformities; pigmentary defects on the face and scalp; and multiple frenula. There were no affected males. We performed X-inactivation studies on seven affected females, using a methylation assay at the androgen receptor locus; all seven demonstrated preferential inactivation of their maternal chromosomes carrying the mutation, and two unaffected females showed a random pattern. These findings indicate that this disorder is linked to the X chromosome. To map the gene for this disorder, we analyzed DNA from nine affected females and five unaffected individuals, using 40 polymorphic markers evenly distributed throughout the X chromosome. Two-point and multipoint linkage analyses using informative markers excluded most of the X chromosome and demonstrated linkage to a region on the long arm between DXS548 and Xqter. A maximum LOD score of 3.16 at recombination fraction 0 was obtained for five markers mapping to Xq27.3-Xq28. The mapping data should facilitate the identification of the molecular basis of this disorder.  (+info)

Effects of massive doses of ergocalciferol plus cholesterol on pregnant rats and their offspring. (8/360)

Ergocalciferol (320,000 or 480,000 IU/kg) plus cholesterol (60 mg/kg) in olive oil solution was administered daily on 1, 2, or 4 consecutive days to pregnant rats from 9,10, 14, or 18 of gestation. The control animals received only olive oil. Disseminated lesions of metastic calcinosis were found in various tissues, in the coronary arteries and myocardium, in the media of the abnormal aorta, in the lung and pleura, in the gastoinstestinal tract, and in the kidney. This is in contrast to the atherosclerosis described in nonpregnant rats fed a similiar diet. A significant decline in maternal weight as well as a high rate of morbidity and mortality was observed. In mothers killed on day 22 of pregnancy, fetal and placental growths appeared significantly retarded suggesting a direct effect of the steroid or its more active metabolite, 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, on the fetus or the trophoblastic tissue. Fetal bone lesionsassociated with a generalized retardation of ossification, placental edema, or calcification accompanied by a loss of the normal structure of the placenta and degenerative manifestation at this level were observed. Moreover, we noted a striking alteration of the fetal face in 33-39% of experimental fetuses, called by us carnival fetuses.  (+info)

MODEL RELEASED. Bent bone dysplasia. A two year old boy with bent bone dysplasia syndrome, a non-inherited disorder of the skeleton, seen with his mother. The cause of the syndrome is a mutation of the Fibroplast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGRF2) gene. The syndrome manifests with premature fusion of skull fissures (craniosynostosis), dysmorphic facial features and bent long bones due to poor mineralisation and changes to the chondrocytes that form cartillage. The condition is usually associated with extreme respiratory problems, an excessively large tongue and swallowing difficulty. This child has a tracheostomy to help him breathe. Bent bone displasia syndrome is extremely rare, with just a few cases known worldwide - Stock Image C021/9117
Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy (HOD) is a bone disease that occurs in fast-growing large and giant breed dogs. The disorder is sometimes referred to as metaphyseal osteopathy, and typically first presents between the ages of 2 and 7 months. HOD is characterized by decreased blood flow to the metaphysis (the part of the bone adjacent to the joint) leading to a failure of ossification (bone formation) and necrosis and inflammation of cancellous bone. The disease is usually bilateral in the limb bones, especially the distal radius, ulna, and tibia. The Weimaraner, Irish Setter, Boxer, German Shepherd, and Great Dane breeds are heavily represented in case reports of HOD in the veterinary literature, but the severity of symptoms and possible etiology may be different across the breeds. For example, familial clustering of the disease has been documented in the Weimaraner, but not in other breeds. The disease in the Weimaraner and Irish Setter can be particularly severe, with significant mortality ...
Chapter 70 covers acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type (MIM 602875), including major clinical findings, radiographic features, and differential diagnoses.
Bent bone dysplasia syndrome (BBDS; MIM 614592) is an autosomal dominant perinatal lethal skeletal dysplasia caused by mutations in the FGFR2 gene. The main findings of BBDS include: variable degrees of long bone bending, primarily of the femora, with prominent periosteum, brachydactyly with irregular periosteal surfaces, coronal craniosynostosis, diminished mineralization of the calvarium, pubis, scapula, and hands, a bell-shaped thorax, hypoplastic clavicles, narrowed ischia and acetabular roof and an open metopic suture. Dysmorphic features of BBDS include: low-set and abnormal ears, midface hypoplasia, micrognathia, hypertelorism, megalophthalmos, prenatal teeth, gingival hyperplasia and clitoromegaly. The described FGFR2 mutations result in the substitution of conserved hydrophobic amino acids by polar amino acids within the transmembrane domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2. FGFR2 mutations in BBDS appear to be highly penetrant, but the incidence is unknown.. Read less ...

2Department of Pathology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University, Giza, EGYPT DOI : 10.9775/kvfd.2019.21884 Hypertrophic osteodystrophy is a developmental disease of unknown etiology and affects primarily young rapidly growing large and giant breed dogs. The present study reports a case of mandibular hypertrophic osteodystrophy fibrosa in a 6-month-old male German shepherd puppy admitted with a history of one month decreased appetite, difficulty in chewing, and open mouth with continuous drooling. Clinical examination revealed thickened mandible and filling of the intermandibular space with hard tissue. Radiography revealed bone-like material filling the intermandibular space. Biopsy from the thickened mandibular mass demonstrated marked osteoclastic activity and resorption of bone trabeculae that were replaced by fibrous connective tissue. The marrow cavity was filled with massive fibrous tissue mixed with hemorrhage and osteoclasts. Hypertrophic osteodystrophy fibrosa should be taken ...
Hypochondrogenesis is a rare, severe disorder of bone growth. This condition is characterised by a small body, short limbs, and abnormal bone formation (ossification) in the spine and pelvis.. Affected infants have short arms and legs, a small chest with short ribs, and underdeveloped lungs. Bones in the skull appear normal, but the bones of the spine (vertebrae) and pelvic bones do not harden properly. The face appears flat and oval-shaped, with widely spaced eyes, a small chin, and, in some cases, an opening in the roof of the mouth called a cleft palate. The abdomen is enlarged, and affected infants may have a condition called hydrops foetalis in which excess fluid builds up in the body before birth.. As a result of these serious health problems, affected infants are usually born prematurely, are stillborn, or die shortly after birth from respiratory failure. Some infants have lived for a while, however, with intensive medical support. Babies who live past the newborn period are usually ...
Some of the most common bow legged causes include:. Blounts Disease: This disease is a medical condition that can cause abnormal growth in the bones, particularly the shin bone. Adults and small children can experience this bone disease. However, some doctors have a hard time determining if a child is bow legged due to Blounts Disease or if it is normal. As the child gets older it would be much easier to determine since a child with Blounts Disease will notice their bow legs getting worse instead of improving. Doctors will examine a child 3 years old or older via X-rays to detect Blounts Disease. The good news is this condition can be treated if it is discovered.. Bone Abnormalities: Abnormal bone development can cause bow legs in adults and children over 3 years old. One of these bone abnormalities is unicameral bone cyst, which happens near the areas of the bone where growth occurs in the legs or arms. The condition will cause bones to become thin and can cause a fracture. Doctors usually ...

This condition is a developmental bone disease that usually affects large breed puppies between the ages of 2-8 months of age. Hyper means excessive, trophy or trophic refers to growth. Hypertrophic osteodystrophy is the abnormal and excessive growth of bone. HOD occurs when there is a disturbance in the blood supply to the growth plate, leading to delays in bone production. The weakened bones develop microscopic fractures which result in inflammation, pain, and lameness. In mild cases, the dog can make a full recovery with appropriate treatment. In severe cases, the condition can result in systemic illness and deformity of the limbs. This condition is thought to be genetic, however, viral diseases such as distemper, severe respiratory problems, improper nutrition (including over-nutrition) vitamin C deficiencies and other metabolic defects may also play a role in development of the disease. There is also some speculation that the condition can occur as a result of vaccine reaction, particularly ...

Living with elbow dysplasia An initial diagnosis is necessary prior to any treatment; X-rays are usually taken to ensure that elbow dysplasia is the cause of the pets pain. Managing pain caused by elbow dysplasia is absolutely probable. There are both surgical and non-surgical treatment options available with positive and negative aspects of both options. Surgery is one treatment option that typically provides a sort of permanent relief for elbow dysplasia sufferers. However, if there are multiple defects in the joint and the defects are severe, the surgery can prove less successful, and a dog can still develop degenerative arthritis. For dogs who are not good candidates for surgery or whose owners opt against it, traditional therapy involves a combination of weight control, moderate exercise, and anti-inflammatory medications. Additional therapies might be suggested, depending on a dogs current health status. For severely overweight dogs, hydrotherapy might be recommended to alleviate ...

Achondrogenesis type II (OMIM 200610) is characterized by severe shortening of the neck and trunk and especially the limbs and by a large, soft head. Fetal hydrops and prematurity are common; infants are stillborn or die shortly after birth. Hypochondrogenesis (OMIM 200610) refers to a clinical phenotype intermediate between achondrogenesis type II and SED congenita. It is typically lethal in the newborn period.. The severity of radiographic changes correlates with the clinical severity (Fig. 686-1). Both conditions produce short, broad tubular bones with cupped metaphyses. The pelvic bones are hypoplastic, and the cranial bones are not well mineralized. The vertebral bodies are poorly ossified in the entire spine in achondrogenesis type II and in the cervical and sacral spine in hypochondrogenesis. The pedicles are ossified in both.. ...

The development of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) technology has opened up new horizons for development of new research tools especially for skeletal dysplasias, which often lack human disease models. Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering could be the next areas to benefit from refinement of iPSC methods to repair focal cartilage defects, while applications for osteoarthritis (OA) and drug screening have evolved rather slowly. Although the advances in iPSC research of skeletal dysplasias and repair of focal cartilage lesions are not directly relevant to OA, they can be considered to pave the way to future prospects and solutions to OA research, too. The same problems which face the present cell-based treatments of cartilage injuries concern also the iPSC-based ones. However, established iPSC lines, which have no genomic aberrations and which efficiently differentiate into extracellular matrix secreting chondrocytes, could be an invaluable cell source for cell transplantations in ...

In an attempt to determine which genes cause canine hypertrophic osteodystrophy (HOD), our faculty are studying this developmental disease in Weimaraners and other susceptible breeds (rapidly growing, large dogs such as the Great Dane, Boxer, German shepherd, Labrador retriever and Irish setter) between eight weeks and eight months of age. Affected puppies suffer bone pain that results in lameness or complete refusal to stand or walk. This pain is often accompanied by fever, lethargy and anorexia. In Weimaraners, HOD is often severe and sick puppies may have several episodes until complete closure of the growth plates, which often requires hospitalization for intensive care.. ...
Methods In the present study, we report the clinical and molecular delineation of a new form of syndromic autosomal recessive spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SMD) in two Emirati first cousins. They displayed postnatal growth deficiency causing profound limb shortening with proximal and distal segments involvement, narrow chest, radiological abnormalities involving the spine, pelvis and metaphyses, corneal clouding and intellectual disability. Whole genome homozygosity mapping localised the genetic cause to 11q12.1-q13.1, a region spanning 19.32 Mb with ~490 genes. Using whole exome sequencing, we identified four novel homozygous variants within the shared block of homozygosity. Pathogenic variants in genes involved in phospholipid metabolism, such as PLCB4 and PCYT1A, are known to cause bone dysplasia with or without eye anomalies, which led us to select PLCB3 as a strong candidate. This gene encodes phospholipase C β 3, an enzyme that converts phosphatidylinositol 4,5 bisphosphate (PIP2) to ...

History: The patient is a 14 + 6 year old black male with a one year history of progressively worsening left knee pain. He states that the pain began in both knees and was intermittent, Tylenol helped alleviate the pain. Over the past 6 months the pain is more isolated to the left knee and has become constant in nature. Within the last 2 weeks the constant pain has become bad enough to limit his activities. He is unable to attend school or walk more than several hundred feet because of the pain. The pain is now affecting his sleep. He does get some relief with rest and elevation of the knee. The pain also limits his motion in that knee. He denies any trauma to the knee and has no other medical problems. He is not taking any medications. There is no family history of leg deformities. Physical Exam: The adolescent is a morbidly obese 14 + 6 year old black male. His extremity exam reveals an asymmetric pelvis with the right being elevated. There is a leg length inequality with the left leg being ...

The neurofibromatoses (NF) encompass the rare diseases NF1, NF2, and schwannomatosis. The NFs affect 100,000 Americans; over 2 million persons worldwide; and are caused by mutation of tumor suppressor genes. Individuals with NF1 in particular may develop tumors anywhere in the nervous system; additional manifestations can include learning disabilities, bone dysplasia, cardiovascular defects, unmanageable pain, and physical disfigurement. Ultimately, the NFs can cause blindness, deafness, severe morbidity, and increased mortality and NF1 includes a risk of malignant cancer. Today there is no treatment for the NFs (other than symptomatic); however, research efforts to understand these genetic conditions have made tremendous strides in the past few years.

What can be done about genetic diseases? Well, canine geneticists estimate that the average purebred dog carries at least 4 defective genes. He or she may not be showing them but they are hidden within their genome. So you can mate a normal looking dog carrying elbow dysplasia with another normal looking dog carrying genes for elbow dysplasia and produce a litter of dysplastic pups.. So, then what to do? Support Open Registries and urge every breeder to use one. Basically, an open registry encourages breeders to test every puppy they produce for whatever genetic diseases their breed may be carrying and register these findings (good or bad) . In this way one can see what may be going on with an entire litter. So, if you have 6 pups and one is normal but 5 have cataracts then that one who looks normal may be carrying a gene for cataracts. This is much different from having 6 pups one which has cataracts and 5 that do not. For more information about what an open registry is you may wish to log onto ...

Wow! I cant believe we are 19 weeks already! We were in our 19th week with Avery when we found out that she had a form of Skeletal Dysplasia, most likely lethal. I am so grateful that our baby boy looks healthy. I still miss Avery every day and wish that she could be here planning for her brothers arrival but I know she is watching over us and is happy to see her brother finally joining our family! I have finally been able to imagine what it is going to be like to have a baby in our home. To smell his soft skin and enjoy every second with him. Honestly, I am a little scared, not to be a mom but to finally have this baby and then have to watch him grow up so fast! I know that it will be amazing and I will love every second of it, but I also know how fast it goes and even with 21 weeks left in this pregnancy, I just want to stop time already! I am loving being pregnant too. I dont know if all women feel this way or just those of us that have struggled for so long to finally get pregnant but ...
I have a female infant(child) aged 2.3 years and she has bowing of both legs and I visited an orthopedic pediatricion and he told me that she needs to do a surgical operation to correct her legs.please help me to make a discion to do the operation or notHi, my name is Sarah and I have a rare bone disorder that caused me to have bowed legs as a young child. I am now 18 and thanks to the surgery I had, I can live a perfectly normal life. Surgery is always a big decision and I would definitely recommend getting a second or even a third opinion before making any decisions but children are very strong and I know this from personal experience, that they can make it through these circumstances and come out shinning on the other side. I believe it is to do with the innocence of children that makes them so strong because they do not understand everything therefore do not worry like we as adults do. I know now if I had to go through it all again at my age I wouldnt make it. Bowed legs can cause many ...
Patients with metatropic dysplasia have an abnormality in their growth plates. The result is the wide portion of a long bone (the metaphyses) is knobby in appearance and the spine has a flattening of the vertebral bodies.
