Blueprint Genetics Spondylometaphyseal Spondylometaphyseal / Spondyloepi-(meta)-physeal Dysplasia Panel Test code: MA1701 Is a 30 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. Is ideal for patients with a clinical suspicion of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia or spondyloepi-(meta)-physeal dysplasia. The genes on this panel are included in the Comprehensive Growth Disorders / Skeletal Dysplasias and Disorders Panel. About Spondylometaphyseal / Spondyloepi-(meta)-physeal Dysplasia The spondylometaphyseal dysplasias constitute a very complex heterogeneous group of disorders. The disorders are characterized by the association of spondular dysplasia and metaphyseal abnormalities of the tubular bones and are associated with walking and growth disturbances that become evident in early childhood. The disorders involve platyspondyly (flattened vertebrae) and marked hip and knee metaphyseal lesions. The different forms of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia are distinguished by the localization and severity of involvement of the affected metaphyses. In addition to the Kozlowski type, which is the most common form, three subgroups can be distinguished by the appearance of the femoral neck. In the first group the changes are severe with absent ossification of the femoral neck and coxa vara. In the second group the changes of the femoral neck are moderate and in the third mild metaphyseal irregularities are only visible. Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia may also occur in association with other clinical manifestations such as facial dysmorphism and dentinogenesis imperfecta. The Kozlowski type of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia results in severe kyphoscoliosis and is caused by mutations in the TRPV4 gene. It is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner, as well as the form of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (‘corner fracture’ or Sutcliffe type), the Algerian (or Schmidt) type and some moderate forms. Several autosomal recessive forms have also been identified, including type A4 and an axial type associated with retinitis pigmentosa and optic atrophy. A form of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia with X-linked transmission has also been reported.

OI is a heterogeneous disorder primarily caused by mutations in the genes involved in the production of type 1 collagen. Severe OI is perinatally lethal, while mild OI can sometimes not be recognised until adulthood. Severe or lethal OI can usually be diagnosed using antenatal ultrasound and confirmed by various imaging modalities and genetic testing. The combination of imaging parameters obtained by ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resource imaging (MRI) can not only detect OI accurately but also predict lethality before birth. Moreover, genetic testing, either noninvasive or invasive, can further confirm the diagnosis prenatally. Early and precise diagnoses provide parents with more time to decide on reproductive options. The currently available postnatal treatments for OI are not curative, and individuals with severe OI suffer multiple fractures and bone deformities throughout their lives. In utero mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has been drawing attention as a promising therapy for severe OI, and a clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of cell therapy is currently ongoing.

  • Mackenzie's Mission Gene & Condition List
    Mackenzie’s Mission Gene & Condition List What conditions are being screened for in Mackenzie’s Mission? Genetic carrier screening offered through this research study has been carefully developed. It is focused on providing people with information about their chance of having children with a severe genetic condition occurring in childhood. The screening is designed to provide genetic information that is relevant and useful, and to minimise uncertain and unclear information. How the conditions and genes are selected The Mackenzie’s Mission reproductive genetic carrier screen currently includes approximately 1300 genes which are associated with about 750 conditions. The reason there are fewer conditions than genes is that some genetic conditions can be caused by changes in more than one gene. The gene list is reviewed regularly. To select the conditions and genes to be screened, a committee comprised of experts in genetics and screening was established including: clinical geneticists, genetic scientists, a genetic pathologist, genetic counsellors, an ethicist and a parent of a child with a genetic condition. The following criteria were developed and are used to select the genes to be included: • Screening the gene is technically possible using currently available technology • The gene is known to cause a genetic condition • The condition affects people in childhood • The condition has a serious impact on a person’s quality of life and/or is life-limiting o For many of the conditions there is no treatment or the treatment is very burdensome for the child and their family. For some conditions very early diagnosis and treatment can make a difference for the child.

  • A Case Report of Dysosteosclerosis Observed from the Prenatal Period
    Clin Pediatr Endocrinol 2010; 19(3), 57-62 Copyright© 2010 by The Japanese Society for Pediatric Endocrinology Case Report A Case Report of Dysosteosclerosis Observed from the Prenatal Period Kisho Kobayashi1, 2, Yusuke Goto1, 2, Hiroaki Kise1, 2, Hiroaki Kanai1, 2, Koji Kodera1, 2, Gen Nishimura3, Kenji Ohyama1, Kanji Sugita1, and Takayuki Komai1, 2 1Department of Pediatrics, University of Yamanashi, Yamanashi, Japan 2Department of Pediatrics, Yamanashi Prefectural Central Hospital, Yamanashi, Japan 3Department of Radiology, Tokyo Metropolitan Children’s Medical Center, Tokyo, Japan Abstract. Dysosteosclerosis is a sclerosing bone dysplasia with skeletal changes resembling those of osteopetrosis. The disorder is associated with dental anomalies and occasionally mental retardation. Because of the rarity and phenotypic diversity of dysosteosclerosis, it remains unsolved whether or not the disorder is heterogeneous. We report here on an affected boy associated with brain calcification and epilepsy with developmental delay. Prenatal ultrasound revealed ventriculomegaly, and brain CT in the neonatal period showed periventricular calcifications. At 13 mo of age, he presented with generalized convulsion with developmental delay. Metaphyseal sclerosis, metaphyseal undermodeling, and oval-shaped vertebral bodies on skeletal survey warranted a diagnosis of dysosteosclerosis. Retrospective review of radiographs as a neonate showed metaphyseal radiolucency, but not metaphyseal sclerosis. Since then, neither the bone changes nor neurological symptom has progressively worsened up to 4 yr of age. Thus, it is thought that the clinical and radiological manifestations of the sclerotic disorder become obvious during infancy. Brain calcification of prenatal onset may be an essential syndromic constituent of the disorder. Key words: dysosteosclerosis, metaphyseal sclerosis, congenital bone disease, periventricular calcification Introduction compression resulting in certain manifestations, such as blindness and facial paralysis.
