" /> Fibrochondrogenesis 2 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Fibrochondrogenesis 2;

Symbol : FBCG2;

CISMeF acronym : FBCG2;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Fibrochondrogenesis is a severe skeletal dysplasia characterized by a flat midface, short long bones, short ribs with broad metaphyses, and vertebral bodies that show distinctive hypoplastic posterior ends and rounded anterior ends, giving the vertebral bodies a pinched appearance on lateral radiographic views. The chest is small, causing perinatal respiratory problems which usually, but not always, result in lethality. Affected individuals who survive the neonatal period have high myopia, mild to moderate hearing loss, and severe skeletal dysplasia (summary by Tompson et al., 2012). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of fibrochondrogenesis, see;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant; Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the collagen XI, alpha-2 polypeptide gene (COL11A2, 120290.0012);

Prefixed ID : #614524;
