Osteoglophonic dysplasia

Title

Other Names:

Osteoglophonic dwarfism; Fairbank-Keats syndrome; OGD

Categories:

Congenital and Genetic Diseases; Musculoskeletal Diseases

Summary Summary

The following summary is from Orphanet, a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs.

Orpha Number: 2645

Disease definition

Osteoglophonic dwarfism (OGD) is characterized by dwarfism, severe craniofacial abnormalities and multiple unerupted teeth.

Epidemiology

Less than ten cases have been reported so far.

Clinical description

Main clinical features include craniosynostosis, acrocephaly, a prominent forehead, depressed nasal bridge, hypertelorism, midface hypoplasia, macroglossia, unerupted teeth, short neck, short and bowed limbs, short and broad hands and fingers, and flat feet. The main radiographic features are craniostenosis, fibrous dysplasia, metaphyseal lucencies and platyspondyly. Intelligence is usually normal.

Etiology

OGD is caused by mutations in the FGFR1 gene (8p11.2-p11.1).

Genetic counseling

OGD is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner.

Symptoms Symptoms

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.

Diagnosis Diagnosis

Making a diagnosis for a genetic or rare disease can often be challenging. Healthcare professionals typically look at a person’s medical history, symptoms, physical exam, and laboratory test results in order to make a diagnosis. The following resources provide information relating to diagnosis and testing for this condition. If you have questions about getting a diagnosis, you should contact a healthcare professional.

Testing Resources

The Genetic Testing Registry (GTR) provides information about the genetic tests for this condition. The intended audience for the GTR is health care providers and researchers. Patients and consumers with specific questions about a genetic test should contact a health care provider or a genetics professional.
