Study Notes
Skeletal Dysplasias and Genetic Disorders: Key Points
- Skeletal dysplasias are heritable disorders characterized by abnormalities in cartilage and bone growth, leading to abnormal skeletal shape and size.
- Osteochondromas are cartilage-capped benign bone tumors that arise in the metaphysis of long bones, leading to bone shortening and bowing, and can cause pain or numbness from nerve compression.
- Most common locations for exostoses are the distal femur, proximal tibia, humerus, and proximal fibula, with the potential for malignant transformation into chondrosarcoma.
- Skeletal dysplasias can be diagnosed through radiographic features and genetic testing of EXT1 and EXT2, with a 50% chance of transmission to offspring and a 10-20% chance of spontaneous mutation.
- Mutations in EXT1, EXT2, and EXT3 genes result in the synthesis of truncated EXT proteins, affecting heparan sulfate synthesis and leading to abnormal bone growth and disruption of physeal growth.
- Skeletal dysplasias can cause joint pain, neurovascular compression, spinal deformities, and autism-like social problems, and may be more severe if the mutation is on the EXT1 gene.
- Diagnosis of genetic disorders involves genetic material examination, in-depth family history, and varied methods such as prenatal diagnosis through fetal development ultrasound or amniocentesis.
- Treatment for skeletal dysplasias includes surgical options like ostechondroma excision, gradual or acute bone lengthening, and corrective osteotomies, as well as gene therapy and supportive therapy.
- Genetic disorders can affect various stages of development and have diverse prognoses, with no known cures at present, requiring maintenance of quality of life and patient autonomy through physiotherapy, pain management, and supportive or alternative medicine programs.
- Common skeletal dysplasias include achondroplasia, osteogenesis imperfecta, thanatophoric dysplasia, campomelic dysplasia, and hypochondroplasia, each with distinct clinical and radiographic features.
- Achondroplasia is characterized by short stature, a relatively normal-sized trunk, large head, and rhizomelic shortening of the limbs, while osteogenesis imperfecta presents with short, thick, ribbonlike long bones and multiple fractures.
- Hurler syndrome, a mucopolysaccharidosis type IH, leads to dysplasia, scaphocephalic macrocephaly, coarse facial features, and joint contractures, with specific radiographic features like hook-shaped deformity of the vertebrae and abnormally shaped tubular bones in the hands.
