Abstract We present a case of rhizomelic dwarfism with clinical, radiographic and histologic features in keeping with atelosteogenesis type III (spondylohumerofemoral hypoplasia). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

AB - We present 5 cases of a short-limb dwarfism syndrome whose manifestations overlap those of atelosteogenesis and oto-palato-digital syndrome Type II. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

• Broad Thumb

  The infant had short broad thumbs in the hands similar to those observed in the feet. There were no chromosomal abnormalities. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Both children had typical manifestations of AO type I, with severe rhizomelic shortening of the extremities, limited elbow and knee extension with mild webbing, pectus excavatum, broad thumbs with brachydactyly that was most marked for digits 3-5, dislocated [experts.umn.edu]

• Suggestibility

  A common pathogenesis is suggested for atelosteogenesis type I and boomerang dysplasia. A marked excess of male fetuses with boomerang dysplasia was observed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The molecular analysis of the father was crucial to suggest the diagnosis of AOI in the newborn, since she died early and there were no biological samples available. [scielo.br]

• Short Neck

  Affiliated tissues include bone, testes and eye, and related phenotypes are malar flattening and short neck Genetics Home Reference : 26 Atelosteogenesis type 3 is a disorder that affects the development of bones throughout the body. [malacards.org]

• Confusion

  It is often confused with diastrophic dysplasia owing to similar symptoms. Atelosteogenesis type II is an extremely rare disorder of cartilage and bone development in infants. Those with the disorder are usually stillborn. [onlymyhealth.com]

The detailed description of this patient should contribute to earlier diagnosis of this condition; anticipation of the poor prognosis in AO1 is essential for appropriate genetic counseling of the parents and for determining postnatal treatment options [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Our surviving patient further defines the radiographic features of the condition and the natural history and prognosis for physical and intellectual disability. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is poor. Death is often due to a combination of pulmonary hypoplasia and tracheobronchomalacia early in life. Last updated: 7/1/2013 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is poor. Death is often due to a combination of pulmonary hypoplasia and tracheobronchomalacia early in life. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Prognosis: Lethal in utero or shortly after birth due to respiratory failure. Recurrence: In the majority of cases ( de novo mutations): no increased risk. In the rare cases of autosomal recessive inheritance: 25%. [fetalmedicine.org]

We conclude that it is reasonable to consider AT-I and boomerang dysplasia as part of a spectrum, probably reflecting a common etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Atelosteogenesis I results from heterozygous mutations in exons 2-5 and 27-33 of the gene encoding filamin B ( FLNB ) located to 3p14. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
