Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Smith-McCort dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized
by short trunk dwarfism with a barrel-shaped chest, rhizomelic limb shortening, and
specific radiologic features including marked platyspondyly with double-humped end-plates,
kyphoscoliosis, metaphyseal irregularities, laterally displaced capital femoral epiphyses,
and small pelvis with a lace-like appearance of iliac crests. These clinical and radiologic
features are also common to Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome (DMC; 223800), which
is distinguished from SMC by the additional feature of mental retardation (summary
by Dupuis et al., 2013). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Smith-McCort
dysplasia, see SMC1 (607326).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
