Chondrodyplasia punctata, rhizomelic type

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Classification according to ICD-10
Q77.3 Chondrodysplasia Punctate Syndromes
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

The chondrodysplasia punctata, rhizomelic or Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata , shortly RCDP is one already in infancy with a shortening of the upper arm and thigh ( rhizomelia manifesting) form of chondrodysplasia punctata .

The name goes back to a publication by RC Lightwood in 1931.

distribution

The frequency is given as 1–9 in 100,000, inheritance is autosomal - recessive .

root cause

The cause lies in disturbances in the metabolism of the peroxisomes . According to the localization, there is a subdivision into 3 types:

  • Type I: Most common form with mutations in the PEX7 gene at location 6q21-q22.2, which affect the PTS2 receptor
  • Type II: with mutations in the GNPAT gene at location 1q42, relating to dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase
  • Type III: with mutations in the AGPS gene at location 2q31, changing the peroxisomal alkyl dihydroxyacetone phosphate synthase.

Clinical manifestations

Clinical criteria are:

  • rhizomelic stature even at birth
  • chubby, flat face, epicanthus
  • Congenital cataract , symmetrical
  • Ichthyosis . Sparse hair growth
  • Microcephaly
  • Joint mobility restricted
  • Phytanic acid in plasma increased
  • postnatal failure to thrive
  • hardly treatable scoliosis, kyphosis
  • mental disability

diagnosis

In the X-ray image shortening of the humerus and femur, dysplastic configuration of the metaphyseal , coronary vertebral columns As with the other forms of chondrodysplasia punctate calcification in the first year with subsequent Ossifikationsanomalien the epiphysis .

According to JW Spranger, specific criteria are :

  • Symmetrical, severe shortening of the femur and / or humerus.
  • Pronounced metaphyseal ossification disorders.
  • Vertical, systemic ossification fissures of the vertebral bodies.
  • Trapezoidal dysplasia of the iliac blades.

If the mutation in the family is known, a prenatal diagnosis is possible.

Differential diagnosis

The Zellweger syndrome is to be distinguished

therapy

A causal treatment is not known.

Prospect of healing

The prognosis is unfavorable, the patients die in the first decade of life, mostly due to breathing disorders.
