MedGen UID:
344437
Concept ID:
C1855175
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Metaphyseal dysostosis mental retardation conductive deafness; Metaphyseal dysostosis, conductive hearing loss and mental retardation; METAPHYSEAL DYSOSTOSIS, IMPAIRED INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT, AND CONDUCTIVE DEAFNESS
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal recessive inheritance
MedGen UID:
141025
Concept ID:
C0441748
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Definition

Metaphyseal dysostosis-intellectual disability-conductive deafness syndrome is characterised by metaphyseal dysplasia, short-limb dwarfism, mild intellectual deficit and conductive hearing loss, associated with repeated episodes of otitis media in childhood. It has been described in three brothers born to consanguineous Sicilian parents. Variable manifestations included hyperopia and strabismus. The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive. [from ORDO]
