| Omodysplasia 2 is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. |
Omodysplasia type 2 is a very rare genetic disorder characterised by abnormalities in the skull, long bones and genitourinary system.
These can be grouped under those evident in the skull/face, the long bones and the genitourinary system
- Skull
- Anteverted nostrils
- Bifid nasal tip
- Depressed nasal bridge
- Fontal bossing
- Long philtrum
- Low set ears
- Long bones
- Short first metacarpal
- Short humerus
- Genitourinary
- Genitourinary hypoplasia
This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.
Mutations in the Frizzled Class Receptor 2 ( FZD2) gene have been associated with this condition. [1]
There is no currently known treatment for this condition.
This condition was first described by Maroteaux et al in 1989. [2]
