ORTHOPEDIC CONDITIONS

SKELETAL DYSPLASIAS

A skeletal dysplasias are rare genetic disorders resulting in abnormal development of bones, joints, and cartilage, occurring in approximately one of every 5,000 live births. Over 450 types of skeletal dysplasia have been diagnosed. Many children with skeletal dysplasias have short stature.

 

Etiology

Some skeletal dysplasias involve changes in genes that code for collagen or other structural elements of bone.  Others involve misregulation of signaling pathways in bone development including HH, PTHrP, WNT, NOTCH, TGF-β, BMP, FGF, and transcription factors SOX9, RUNX2, and OSX.  Different mutations in the same gene can lead to different types of dysplasia.

Some types of dysplasia include the following:
