Mondo Description Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 4 is a multiple epiphyseal dysplasia with a late-childhood onset, characterized by joint pain involving hips, knees, wrists, and fingers with occasional limitation of joint movements, deformity of hands, feet, and knees (club foot, clinodactyly, brachydactyly), scoliosis and slightly reduced adult height. Radiographs display flat epiphyses with early arthritis of the hip, and double-layered patella. Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 4 follows an autosomal recessive mode of transmission. The disease is allelic to diastrophic dwarfism, atelosteogenesis type 2 and achondrogenesis type 1B with whom it forms a clinical continuum.
Uniprot Description A generalized skeletal dysplasia associated with significant morbidity. Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the main clinical signs and symptoms. Radiological examination of the skeleton shows delayed, irregular mineralization of the epiphyseal ossification centers and of the centers of the carpal and tarsal bones. Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia is broadly categorized into the more severe Fairbank and the milder Ribbing types. The Fairbank type is characterized by shortness of stature, short and stubby fingers, small epiphyses in several joints, including the knee, ankle, hand, and hip. The Ribbing type is confined predominantly to the hip joints and is characterized by hands that are normal and stature that is normal or near-normal. Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 4 is a recessively inherited form, characterized by early childhood-onset hip dysplasia and recurrent patella dislocation. Short stature is not frequent.
Disease Ontology Description A multiple epiphyseal dysplasia that has_material_basis_in homozygous mutation in the SLC26A2 gene on chromosome 5q32.
