Another patient may present "boomerang" femora, and an absent tibia. Mutations in the Filamin B (FLNB) gene cause boomerang dysplasia. [en.wikipedia.org]

In a few bones a very disorganized growth cartilage was present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Distinctive radiographic findings are similar to AOI but, BD presents with a more severe deficiency in mineralization, with non-ossification of certain segments of limbs and vertebrates, and a boomerang-like shape of some long tubular bones. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Presentation Prenatal and neonatal diagnosis of boomerang dysplasia includes the presentation of several prominant features found in other osteochondrodysplasias, though the "boomerang" malformation seen in the long bones is the delineating factor. [2 [wikidoc.org]

Prognosis Prognosis is poor, as the condition is lethal in utero. Last updated: 7/1/2013 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

As shown by disorders such as metatropic dysplasia or iduronidase deficiency, radiology is most important to evaluate the prognosis of a given condition. Get access to the full text of this article [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Prognosis The term thanatophoric is Greek for "death bearing". Infants with this condition are usually stillborn or die shortly after birth from respiratory failure; however, some children have survived into childhood with significant medical help. [wikidoc.org]
