GARD Rare
Mondo Description A rare autosomal recessive acromesomelic dysplasia characterized by severe dwarfism (adult height >120 cm), both axial and appendicular involvement (shortening of the middle and distal segments of limbs and vertebral shortening), and with normal facial appearance and intelligence. It is a less severe form than acromesomelic dysplasia, Grebe type and acromesomelic dysplasia, Hunter-Thomson type.
Uniprot Description An autosomal recessive acromesomelic chondrodysplasia. Acromesomelic chondrodysplasias are rare hereditary skeletal disorders characterized by short stature, very short limbs and hand/foot malformations. The severity of limb abnormalities increases from proximal to distal with profoundly affected hands and feet showing brachydactyly and/or rudimentary fingers (knob-like fingers). AMDM is characterized by axial skeletal involvement with wedging of vertebral bodies. In AMDM all skeletal elements are present but show abnormal rates of linear growth.
Disease Ontology Description An acromesomelic dysplasia that has_material_basis_in mutation in NPR-B receptor which results_in severe dwarfism, abnormalities of the located_in vertebral column and shortening of middle and distal segments in the located_in limb.
