  Radiographs revealed hip dysplasia, brachydactyly and scoliosis in patient 1. Radiological examinations in patient 2 also showed hip dysplasia recently. Both of them were diagnosed with MED-4. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Knees have metaphyseal widening and irregularity while hands have brachydactyly (short fingers) and proximal metacarpal rounding. Flat feet are very common. The spine is normal but may have a few irregularities, such as scoliosis. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Joint Deformity

  Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is a heterogeneous genetic condition characterized by variable phenotypes, such as short stature (mild to moderate), joint deformities, abnormal gait, scoliosis, and brachydactyly. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Joint pain, joint deformity, waddling gait, and short stature are the main clinical signs and symptoms. [uniprot.org]

  Major (clinical) findings Symptoms: Short stature (rarely severely) ,Joint pain (hip, knees, ankles). Waddling gait Signs: Joint deformity (eg. valgus knee). Early OA. Joint contractures. [slideshare.net]

• Coxa Vara

  The main features of MED may include: a waddling gait (a jerky motion when walking rather than a smooth movement of the lower limbs) pain in the joints and fatigue (tiredness) after exercise progressive worsening of pain and joint stiffness and deformity [contact.org.uk]

  The main reports were of pain in the hips or knees and waddling gait associated with joint stiffness. The familial form was observed in 2 patients from 1 family, and the other cases were sporadic. [healio.com]

• Bulbous Nose

  The face (B) is typical of DTD with a long and bulbous nose and distinct from the flat bridged nose seen in other skeletal dysplasias. Note the ears lacking the “cauliflower” deformity typical of diastrophic dysplasia. [jmg.bmj.com]

• Waddling Gait

  Patients with MED and a waddling gait but minimal radiographic hip involvement should be evaluated for a primary myopathy and a mutation in type IX collagen. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Clinical description EDM1 (see this term) is clinically the best characterized form of EMD and is marked by a waddling gait and pain at onset, and moderate short stature. The main complication is early arthrosis of the hip. [orpha.net]

• Stiff Gait

  MED affects both sexes, and onset of symptoms usually begins early in or before the third decade of life [ 3 ], although in some forms patients experience joint pain, stiffness, gait abnormalities and retarded growth in early childhood [ 4 ]. [dx.doi.org]

Abstract Seven patients (10 hips), five with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and two with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, were studied as to the etiology of a significant change in their baseline symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology EDM1 is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner and is caused by mutations in the gene ( COMP ; 19p13.1) encoding the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein. [orpha.net]

Understanding the precise effect that these molecular changes have on the integrity of the cartilage extracellular matrix will lead the way in identifying the complex disease pathophysiology that defines MED. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is a mild version (‘ribbing’) and a more typical, severe, form (‘Fairbanks’) Pathophysiology Irregular, delayed, ossification of multiple epiphyses. A defect in COMP (cartilege, oligomeric matrix protein) causes the most common form. [slideshare.net]

Pathophysiology delay of epiphyseal endochondral ossification lack of osseous support yields secondary articular cartilage deformity most commonly affects proximal femur and proximal humerus Genetics autosomal dominant is most common mutation in COMP [orthobullets.com]

However, some causative genes resulting in maturational delay in the epiphysis of the bone have been previously reported.( 6 ) Conservative treatment methods are applied as the genetic mechanisms play a role in the pathophysiology. [archivesofrheumatology.org]

Pathophysiology Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and matrilin-3 (MATN3) are thought to bridge extracellular matrix proteins. Collagen IX is important for the adhesive properties of cartilage. [emedicine.medscape.com]
