Disease Profile

Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, Kozlowski type

Prevalence
Prevalence estimates on Rare Medical Network websites are calculated based on data available from numerous sources, including US and European government statistics, the NIH, Orphanet, and published epidemiologic studies. Rare disease population data is recognized to be highly variable, and based on a wide variety of source data and methodologies, so the prevalence data on this site should be assumed to be estimated and cannot be considered to be absolutely correct.

Inheritance

Autosomal dominant A pathogenic variant in only one gene copy in each cell is sufficient to cause an autosomal dominant disease.

Autosomal recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of each gene of the chromosome are needed to cause an autosomal recessive disease and observe the mutant phenotype.

X-linked
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.

X-linked
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.

Mitochondrial or multigenic Mitochondrial genetic disorders can be caused by changes (mutations) in either the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA that lead to dysfunction of the mitochondria and inadequate production of energy.

Multigenic or multifactor Inheritance involving many factors, of which at least one is genetic but none is of overwhelming importance, as in the causation of a disease by multiple genetic and environmental factors.

Summary

Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, Kozlowski type is a bone disease characterized by short stature involving the trunk. "Spondylo"refers to the spine (vertebrae), "metaphysis" refers to the wide part of the bone that contains the growth plate (the part of the bone that grows during childhood), and "dysplasia" means abnormal growth. It usually starts in early childhood when poor growth with uneven stature and a waddling gait with bow legs (genu varum) is noticed. Early osteoarthritis of the joints is also common. Other signs and symptoms include small hands and fingers, spine deformities, and X-ray showing short vertebra, mild metaphyseal changes, severe delay in ossification, square, short, flared iliac wings (the broadest part of the pelvic bone) and a flat and irregular hipbone.[1][2] Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, Kozlowski type is caused by mutations in the TRPV4 gene. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.[2] Treatment is surgical or the use of braces to align the spine.[1][3]

Symptoms

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
