Rhizomelic dysplasia, scoliosis, and retinitis pigmentosa is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by ocular/visual, dental and osseous anomalies. Only 2 cases have been described in medical literature.[1]
Signs and symptoms
[edit]The following is a list of symptoms that this disorder causes:[2][3][4]
- Amelogenesis imperfecta
- Biconcave vertebrae
- Wide ribs
- Photophobia
- Deltoid tuberosity prominence
- Reduced visual acuity
- Limb rhizomelia
- Cone-rod dystrophy
- Scoliosis
- Shortening of the clavicles
- Shortening of the ribs
- Short neck
- Shortening of the humerus
- Strabismus
- Vision impairment
- Short radius bone epiphysis
- Retinitis pigmentosa
- Short stature
Etymology
[edit]This condition was first described in 2006 by Megarbane et al. when they described two cousins from a consanguineous Lebanese family. Only one of them had amelogenesis imperfecta.[5]
