Description : Chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder
characterized by punctiform calcification of the bones. X-linked dominant CDP, also
known as Conradi-Hunermann syndrome, is the most well-characterized form. See 118650
for a possible autosomal dominant form of CDP. There are 2 brachytelephalangic forms
of CDP: an X-linked recessive form (CDPX1; 302950), caused by mutation in the ARSE
gene (300180), and a possible autosomal form (BCDP; 602497). There is also an autosomal
dominant tibia-metacarpal type (118651). In addition, CDP can be caused by maternal
vitamin K deficiency or warfarin teratogenicity (see 118650).;
Inheritance : X-linked dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the emopamil-binding protein gene (EBP, 300205.0001);
