Cartilage hair hypoplasia is an autosomal recessive type of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, caused by mutations in the ribonuclease mitochondrial RNA processing (RMRP) gene.
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by metaphyseal chondrodysplasia with severe growth retardation and impaired immunity.
We examined 12 Japanese patients with metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (MCD) for mutations in the ribonuclease mitochondrial RNA processing gene (RMRP), and identified four novel mutations in two patients with typical and atypical cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), a form of MCD characterized by extra-skeletal manifestations including hypoplastic hair and defective immunity.
Patients with cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), a rare metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, manifest severe growth failure, variable immunodeficiency and increased risk of malignancies.
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is an autosomal recessive metaphyseal chondrodysplasia characterized by severe short-limb short stature and hypoplastic hair.
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is an autosomal recessive form of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia characterised by short limbed short stature, hypoplastic hair growth, and impaired cell mediated immunity and erythrocyte production.
We describe a rare association of testotoxicosis with a metaphyseal chondrodysplasia called cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) and report two brothers with testotoxicosis after 4 years of treatment.
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is an autosomal recessive metaphyseal chondrodysplasia characterized by bone dysplasia and many other highly variable features.
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH) is an autosomal recessive disease of unknown etiology characterized by metaphyseal dysostosis, unpigmented hair, and defective cellular immunity.
The manifestations of cartilage-hair hypoplasia (CHH), a metaphyseal chondrodysplasia caused by RMRP mutations, include short stature, hypoplastic hair, immunodeficiency and increased risk of malignancies.
We did not, however, detect mutations in the coding and non-coding regions of COL10A1 in one subject with MCDS, the subject with atypical MCDS, and in the nine subjects with other forms of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia.
The cloning of bovine and then human collagen type X genes facilitated studies in relevant human diseases and contributed to the discovery of mutations in the COL10A1 gene in families with metaphyseal chondrodysplasia type Schmid.
Carbamazepine reduces disease severity in a mouse model of metaphyseal chondrodysplasia type Schmid caused by a premature stop codon (Y632X) in the Col10a1 gene.
Cartilage-hair hypoplasia diagnosis should be considered in patients with metaphyseal chondrodysplasia even in the absence of any extra-skeletal manifestations if no mutation in COL10A1 can be found and the family history is compatible with autosomal recessive inheritance.
COL10A1 nonsense and frame-shift mutations have a gain-of-function effect on the growth plate in human and mouse metaphyseal chondrodysplasia type Schmid.
Early-onset metaphyseal chondrodysplasia type Schmid associated with a COL10A1 frame-shift mutation and impaired trimerization of wild-type α1(X) protein chains.
Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia type Schmid (MCDS) is caused by mutations in COL10A1 that are clustered in the carboxyl-terminal non-collagenous (NC1) encoding domain.
Several are discussed in detail, including osteogenesis imperfecta and type I collagen mutations, Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia and parathyroid hormone/parathyroid hormone-related protein receptor mutation, and chondrodysplasias caused by fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 mutations.
