" /> Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, type 2 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, type 2;

Symbol : SEMDJL2;

CISMeF acronym : SEMDJL2;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, leptodactylic type; Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, hall type; Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with multiple dislocations, hall type;

Description : Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 2 (SEMDJL2) is characterized by short stature, distinctive midface retrusion, progressive knee malalignment (genu valgum and/or varum), generalized ligamentous laxity, and mild spinal deformity. Intellectual development is not impaired. Radiographic characteristics include significantly retarded epiphyseal ossification that evolves into epiphyseal dysplasia and precocious osteoarthritis, metaphyseal irregularities and vertical striations, constricted femoral neck, slender metacarpals and metatarsals, and mild thoracolumbar kyphosis or scoliosis with normal or mild platyspondyly (summary by Min et al., 2011). The most distinctive features for differential diagnosis of SEMDJL2 are the slender metacarpals and phalanges and the progressive degeneration of carpal bones; however, these 2 features are evident only in older children and young adults. The soft consistency of cartilage in the airways leads to laryngotracheomalacia with proneness to respiratory obstruction and inspiratory stridor in infancy and childhood (summary by Boyden et al., 2011).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the kinesin family member 22 gene (KIF22, 603213.0001);

Prefixed ID : #603546;
