A Case of Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata in Newborn
Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctate (RCDP) is a rare autosomal recessive peroxisomal disease. The main features of the disease are shortening of the proximal long bones, punctate calcifications located in the epiphyses of long bones and in soft tissues around joints and vertebral column, vertebral clefting, dysmorphic face, and severe growth retardation, whereas cervical spinal stenosis may al...
متن کاملRhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type I
Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type I is one of the rare peroxisome disorders. We report the case of a newborn white male that developed seizures and skeletal dysmorphism. The baby had short humerus bones with stippled epiphyses, consistent with the disease. He had also delay in myelinization on brain MRI with bilateral subependymal cysts over the atria and frontal horns of the lateral ve...
متن کاملRhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata
The rhizomelic form of chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) is a peroxisomal disorder characterized biochemically by an impairment of plasmalogen biosynthesis and phytanate catabolism. We have now found that the maturation of peroxisomal 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase is impaired in fibroblasts from RCDP patients. To establish the subcellular localization of the 3-oxoacylCoA thiolase precursor protein, cul...

Skeletal radiographies showed humeri and femora ...
متن کاملRhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata ( RCDP ) : A case report
RCDP is a rare autosomal recessively inherited skeletal dysplasia characterized by rhizomelia, ichthyosis, seizures, repeated infections, congenital cataracts and joint contractures. Radiological features include epiphyseal stippling, metaphyseal abnormalities and clefts in vertebral bodies. We report a case of RDCP in a neonate because of its rarity.
