چکیده
Acromesomelic dwarfism is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by disproportionate short stature with predominant involvement of the forearms and hands. Maroteaux et al.{l) first described this form of dwarfism. Over 36 cases have been described till date(2), Of them 3 families consisting of two siblings with definite diagnosis of acromesomelic dwarfism are described(3). Here, we report an Indian family with two affected siblings.

Exclusion of chromosome 9 helps to identify mild variants of acromesomelic dysplasia Maroteaux type.
Acromesomelic dysplasia Maroteaux type (AMDM) is an autosomal recessive disorder belonging to the group of acromesomelic dysplasias. AMDM is characterised by severe dwarfism with shortening of the middle and distal segments of the limbs. An AMDM gene has recently been mapped to human chromosome 9p13-q12 by homozygosity mapping in four consanguineous families. Here, we show linkage of the diseas...

متن کاملA novel loss-of-function mutation in Npr2 clarifies primary role in female reproduction and reveals a potential therapy for acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type.
We discovered a new spontaneous mutant allele of Npr2 named peewee (pwe) that exhibits severe disproportionate dwarfism and female infertility. The pwe phenotype is caused by a four base-pair deletion in exon 3 that generates a premature stop codon at codon 313 (L313X). The Npr2(pwe/pwe) mouse is a model for the human skeletal dysplasia acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type (AMDM). We conduct...
