Possible Causes for Brachydactyly

Pseudoachondroplasia

A 2.75-year-old Chinese boy presented with typical clinical features of pseudoachondroplasia, including disproportionate short-limb short stature, brachydactyly, genu varus [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Beside visibly short forearms, short, broad and ulnar deviation of the hands, brachydactyly and joint hyperlaxity, the radiographic picture showed markedly flared metaphyses [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Brachydactyly, a knock knee, lumbar lordosis, scoliosis, ulnar deviation of the hands are other notable signs of this genetic disease. [symptoma.com]

Kabuki Syndrome

The proposita had arched eyebrows, long and upward slanting palpebral fissures, cleft lip and palate, retromicrognathia, brachydactyly of hands and feet, stubby fingers, nail [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Because of his peculiar face, brachydactyly V and fingertip pad, we diagnosed him as having Kabuki syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Brachydactyly, joint laxity and nail dysplasia were present in about 80% of the patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pseudohypoparathyroidism

We encountered a 10-year-old girl with typical Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy with round face, short stature, brachydactyly, and obesity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

TRPS was mistakenly identified as PHP/PPHP because of the coexistence of obesity and brachydactyly, with PTH resistance in one of the cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Spondyloperipheral Dysplasia

[…] mild platyspondyly with posterior scalloping, small flared ilia with shallow acetabulae, mesomelic shortening of long bones, marked delay of carpal bone maturation, and brachydactyly [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The term "spondyloperipheral dysplasia" (SPD) has been applied to the unusual combination of platyspondyly and brachydactyly as observed in a small number of individuals. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The diagnosis of SPD is suggested by the appearance of brachydactyly in a child who has clinical and radiographic features of a collagen II disorder. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
