Unraveling the mechanism by which TRPV4 mutations cause skeletal dysplasias
Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) is a mechano- and osmosensitive cation channel that is highly expressed in chondrocytes, the cells in cartilage. A large number of mutations in TRPV4 have been linked to skeletal dysplasias, and the goal of this addendum is to shed light on the mechanisms by which mutations in TRPV4 can cause skeletal dysplasias by focusing on 3 recent publicatio...
متن کاملRecessive mutations in PTHR1 cause contrasting skeletal dysplasias in Eiken and Blomstrand syndromes.
Eiken syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia. We identified a truncation mutation in the C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of the parathyroid hormone (PTH)/PTH-related peptide (PTHrP) type 1 receptor (PTHR1) gene as the cause of this syndrome. Eiken syndrome differs from Jansen and Blomstrand chondrodysplasia and from enchondromatosis, which are all syndromes caused by PTHR1 mutati...
متن کاملSkeletal Dysplasias
This is a good radiological text covering occult traumatic lesions of the cervical, lower thoracic, and lumbar spine, especially for residents in radiology, neurosurgery, neurology, and orthopedics. The book reviews a topic which has not been widely covered in the literature. The major emphasis of this expanded second edition is the cervical spine, comprising seven of its ten chapters. A new ch...
متن کاملSkeletal Dysplasias That Cause Thoracic Insufficiency in Neonates
Skeletal dysplasias are a heterogeneous group of conditions associated with various abnormalities of the skeleton. Some of them are perinatally lethal and can be diagnosed at birth. Lethality is usually due to thoracic underdevelopment and lung hypoplasia. A correct diagnosis and typing of the skeletal disorder is essential for the prognosis as is genetic counseling of the family. A retrospecti...
متن کاملDermatoglyphs in skeletal dysplasias.
Finger and palm print patterns (dermatoglyphs) are formed in very early pregnancy, at about the same time the limbs are developing, and their formation probably depends upon the surface contours of the palms and soles during morphogenesis. Dermatoglyphs are useful in skeletal dysplasias for the detection and study of syndactyly and symphalangism, for dating the onset and the dysplasias, for dem...
