Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) is a peroxisomal disorder characterized by disproportionately short stature primarily affecting the proximal parts of the extremities, typical facial appearance including a broad nasal bridge, epicanthus, high-arched palate, dysplastic external ears, and micrognathia, congenital ...
Clinical Description OMIM RCDP is a rare, multisystem, developmental disorder, characterized by severe bilateral shortening and metaphyseal changes of femora and/or humeri, microcephaly, characteristic facial features, and severe psychomotor retardation and spasticity. Cataracts are present in about 72% of cases, and ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Braverman et al. (1997), Motley et al. (1997), and Purdue et al. (1997) demonstrated that homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the PEX7 gene (601757) are responsible for RCDP1, otherwise known as peroxisomal biogenesis disorder complementation group 11 ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews Classic rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 1 (RCDP1) is recognized in the neonatal period by the presence of: ...
Clinical Description GeneReviews The characteristic clinical features observed in RCDP1 are skeletal abnormalities, cataracts, growth retardation, and intellectual disability. The majority of children do not survive beyond the first decade of life and a proportion die in the neonatal period. In a review of 69 children with RCDP diagnosed by the Peroxisomal Diseases Laboratory at the Kennedy Krieger Institute, 60% of children survived the first year and 39% the second; a few survived beyond age ten years. In a review of 35 affected children older than age one month, White et al [2003] reported 90% survival at age one year, 50% survival to age six years, and approximately 20% survival at age 12 years. Most deaths were secondary to respiratory complications. Clinical experience suggests that neonatal deaths have been associated with congenital heart disease or pulmonary hypoplasia [Oswald et al 2011]. ...
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews The degree of plasmalogen deficiency correlates directly with phenotypic severity:...
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews The classic RCDP1 phenotype can be mimicked by isolated deficiencies of either of two peroxisomal enzymes involved in plasmalogen biosynthesis, as well as by severe Conradi-Hünermann syndrome. In addition, several different disorders, described below, have similar punctate cartilaginous changes and various combinations of limb asymmetry, short stature, intellectual disability, cataracts, and skin changes. The radiologic finding of chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP) has been observed in various metabolic disorders, skeletal dysplasias, chromosome abnormalities, and teratogen exposures. Exhaustive classifications of CDP have been published [Irving et al 2008]. ...
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type I (RCDP1), the following evaluations are recommended:...
