Short stature

•SED
•Gene: COL2A1 on chromosome 12 (same gene as Kniest syndrome)
•Types
•Congenita: onset at birth, AD inheritance
•Tarda: onset >5yo, XL recessive
•Clinical
•General: disproportionate short stature, short trunk
•Face: hypertelorism, cleft palate
•Chest: pectus carinatum
•Limbs: coxa vara, genu valgum, equinovarus
•Spine: kyphoscoliosis, odontoid hypoplasia → AADI

XR:

•Hip dysplasia + coxa vara +/- genu valgum
•Platyspondyly
•Odontoid hypoplasia

CXR: restrictive lung disease

•MED
•AD

Gene:

•Type 1 COMP (Protein for cartilage mineralization. Mutation causes increase in proteoglycan in chondrocyte)
•Type 2 COL9A2
•Present in early adolescent
•Clinical
•General: disproportionate short stature, short limb
•Limbs: coxa vara, genu valgum, ankle valgus, acromelia (short digits)
•Spine: N
•IQ normal

XR

•Immature: small, flattened fragmented epiphysis
•Mature: flattening of WB joint + incongruity +/- early OA
•Double layered patella
