Dermatoglyphs in skeletal dysplasias.
نویسنده
چکیده
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 demonstrating and dating asymmetry, and sometimes for providing specific diagnostic features.

The skeletal dysplasias form a large group of hereditary disorders characterized by abnormal growth and malformations of bone and cartilage. The clinical severity ranges from mildly affected short stature to lethal forms.

Skeletal dysplasias represent a large and diverse group of rare conditions affecting collagen and bone. They can be clinically classified based on radiographic and physical features, and many can be further defined at a molecular level (Bonafe et al., 2015). Early diagnosis is critical to proper medical management including pharmacologic treatment when available. Patients with severe skeletal d...
متن کاملTherapeutic potential of CNP for skeletal dysplasias
Background We had revealed that C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is a potent stimulator of endochondral bone growth by using transgenic and knockout mice: transgenic mice with targeted overexpression of CNP in cartilage develop prominent skeletal overgrowth [1], whereas mice depleted with CNP exhibit impaired endochondral bone growth [2]. We planned to translate this effect of CNP into the ther...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of skull radiograph alone in young children in screening of skeletal dysplasias and dysostoses in comparison with whole skeletal survey. It is a retrospective study which includes 1000 high risk children who undergone whole skeletal survey. 20 patients were diagnosed as dysplasia/dysostoses out of which 18 patients had skull abnor...
