Short-Rib Thoracic Dysplasia 3 with or without Polydactyly - CISMeF
Short-Rib Thoracic Dysplasia 3 with or without PolydactylyNCIt concept
Preferred Label : Short-Rib Thoracic Dysplasia 3 with or without Polydactyly;
NCIt synonyms : SRTD3;
NCIt definition : An autosomal recessive type of short rib-polydactyly syndrome caused by mutation(s)
in the DYNC2H1 gene, encoding cytoplasmic dynein 2 heavy chain 1. Additionally, there
is evidence that it may be caused by digenic biallelic mutation in DYNC2H1 and in
NEK1 (the latter encoding serine/threonine-protein kinase Nek1). It is characterized
by a constricted thoracic cage, short ribs, and a 'trident' appearance of the acetabular
roof. Polydactyly may or may not be present.;
