A new form of skeletal dysplasia with amelogenesis imperfecta and platyspondyly

Clin Genet. 1996 Jan;49(1):2-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.1996.tb04315.x.

Abstract

We report two patients, born of consanguineous parents, affected by a disorder resulting in mild growth retardation. Hallmarks are amelogenesis imperfecta (absence of the enamel cap) associated with brachyolmia-like anomalies: platyspondyly with short pedicles, narrow intervertebral and interpedicular distances, rectangular-shaped vertebrae with posterior scalloping and herniation of the nuclei, and broad femoral necks. Inheritance appears to be autosomal recessive.
