Description: (OMIM) The spondylocostal dysostoses are a heterogeneous group of axial skeletal disorders characterized by multiple segmentation defects of the vertebrae (SDV), malalignment of the ribs with variable points of intercostal fusion, and often a reduction in rib number. The ...
Clinical Description OMIM Lavy et al. (1966) observed 4 of 7 offspring of a third-cousin marriage who had characteristic vertebral anomalies including hemivertebrae and block vertebrae accompanied by deformity of the ribs. All affected children died of respiratory infection under 1 ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Turnpenny et al. (1999) performed genomewide scanning by homozygosity mapping in a large consanguineous Arab-Israeli family in which there were 6 definite cases of autosomal recessive spondylocostal dysostosis. Significant linkage was found to 19q13, with a lod score ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews Spondylothoracic dysostosis (STD) (known as Jarcho-Levin syndrome when it occurs in Puerto Ricans of Spanish descent) is characterized by short and rigid neck, short thorax, protuberant abdomen, inguinal and umbilical hernias, urinary tract abnormalities, and disproportionate dwarfism. ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews The vertebral and rib anomalies that characterize STD lead to significant thoracic restriction in approximately 60% of newborns resulting in some type of respiratory distress requiring medical intervention. Because of the extensive rib fusion in the entire posterior and sometimes lateral chest wall, the intercostal muscles are not able to expand the chest adequately. Although these infants have hypoplastic lung syndrome from the small size of the chest, no intrinsic lung abnormality has been described in STD. Because of respiratory compromise, infants with STD have a nearly 44% mortality rate by the end of infancy [Cornier et al 2004]. ...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Spondylocostal dysostosis (SCDO), defined radiographically as multiple segmentation defects of the vertebrae in combination with abnormalities of the ribs, is characterized clinically by a short trunk in proportion to height, short neck, and non-progressive mild scoliosis in most affected individuals. Respiratory function in neonates may be compromised by reduced size of the thorax; however, by age two years lung growth may improve sufficiently to support relatively normal growth and development. Subtypes are defined by identification of two mutant alleles in any one of the four genes known to be associated with autosomal recessive SCDO: DLL3, MESP2, LFNG, and HES7....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with spondylothoracic dysostosis (STD), the following evaluations are recommended:...
