Description : Multiple hereditary exostoses (EXT) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized
by multiple projections of bone capped by cartilage, most numerous in the metaphyses
of long bones, but also occurring on the diaphyses of long bones. Flat bones, vertebrae,
and the ribs may also be affected, but the skull is usually not involved. Deformity
of the legs, forearms (resembling Madelung deformity), and hands is frequent (Peterson,
1989). Two conditions in which multiple exostoses occur are metachondromatosis (156250)
and the Langer-Giedion syndrome (LGS; 150230); the latter condition is also known
as trichorhinophalangeal syndrome type II. Furthermore, exostosis-like lesions occur
with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP; 135100), occipital horn syndrome
(304150), and the adult stage of hereditary hypophosphatemia (see 307800); these exostoses
are located at sites of tendon and muscle attachment. A relatively rare variant of
the supracondylar process, on the anteromedial surface of the distal humerus, can
be confused with an exostosis; the variant is said to be present in about 1% of persons
of European descent (Silverman, 1985).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the exostosin 1 gene (EXT1, 133700.0001);
Neoplasia : Increased risk of chondrosarcoma (mean age of onset 31 years);
