Omodysplasia 2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omodysplasia 2
Omodysplasia 2 is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.

Omodysplasia type 2 is a very rare genetic disorder characterised by abnormalities in the skull, long bones and genitourinary system.

Clinical features

[edit]

These can be grouped under those evident in the skull/face, the long bones and the genitourinary system

  • Skull
    • Anteverted nostrils
    • Bifid nasal tip
    • Depressed nasal bridge
    • Fontal bossing
    • Long philtrum
    • Low set ears
  • Long bones
    • Short first metacarpal
    • Short humerus
  • Genitourinary
    • Genitourinary hypoplasia

Genetics

[edit]

This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.

Mutations in the Frizzled Class Receptor 2 (FZD2) gene have been associated with this condition.[1]

Diagnosis

[edit]

Differential diagnosis

[edit]

Robinow syndrome

Treatment

[edit]

There is no currently known treatment for this condition.

History

[edit]

This condition was first described by Maroteaux et al in 1989.[2]
