Omodysplasia (Q87104): Difference between revisions

Omodysplasia is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterised by severe limb shortening and facial dysmorphism. Two types of omodysplasia have been described: an autosomal recessive or generalised form (also referred to as micromelic dysplasia with dislocation of radius) marked by severe micromelic dwarfism with predominantly rhizomelic shortening of both the upper and lower limbs, and an autosomal dominant form in which stature is normal and shortening is limited to the upper limbs.
