The disease is fatal in all cases, presenting death in an early stage, in childhood. [scielo.conicyt.cl]

In the intermediate and milder phenotypes, malformations may not be present and prominent disease features reflect postnatal peroxisome dysfunction over time. It is this latter group of patients that would benefit most from targeted therapies. [jhu.pure.elsevier.com]

• Rigor

• Joint Stiffness

  People with RCDP have very poor growth and often develop joint deformities ( contractures ) that make the joints stiff and painful. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

  They might suffer stiff joints and dry skin. Other visual clues to RCDP are a small, up-turned nose, low-set ears and an unusually small head circumference. [geneticdisordersuk.org]

  People with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata often develop joint deformities (contractures) that make the joints stiff and painful. Distinctive facial features are also seen with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

• Macrocephaly

  Note dysplasia, scaphocephalic macrocephaly, coarse facial features, depressed nasal bridge, broad nasal tip, thick lips, short neck, protuberant abdomen, inguinal hernia, joint contractures, and claw hands. [emedicine.medscape.com]

• Short Neck

  Note short-limbed dysplasia, large head, short neck, narrow thorax, short and small fingers, and bowed extremities. [emedicine.medscape.com]

  The clinical features in the milder form are nonspecific like mongoloid face, snub nose, slanting of the eyes, short neck and trunk, cataract and mild skeletal deformities. Dwarfism is not severe. [ijri.org]

  Baby had proximal symmetrical shortening of the humerus and to a lesser degree the femur with flexion contractures in all extremities, midfacial hypoplasia with a depressed nasal bridge and anteverted nares with a short neck with nuchal fullness and ichthyotic [ispub.com]

  Such features have included abnormal calcifications and potential narrowing (stenosis) of the windpipe (trachea) and/or the larynx, which connects the throat and the trachea; an unusually short neck; abnormalities of the nails; various structural malformations [rarediseases.org]

TREATMENT There is no current cure for RCDP. Treatment is supportive and many include physical therapy, anti-seizure medication, hearing amplification, and cataract removal. [secure.ssa.gov]

Management and treatment There is no specific treatment for the enzyme defect. Prognosis Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia has a severe prognosis with death generally occurring during the first decade of life, mainly due to respiratory complications. [orpha.net]

Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment is available beyond supportive measures. Cataract removal may improve vision but the poor prognosis for longevity requires caution be used. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
