Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia
From WikiLectures
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED) is a form of dwarfism with a short trunk and limbs (unlike achondroplasia) and deformities in the spine and epiphyses of long bones.
The spine, coxa vara, and genua valga are affected .
We recognize two types of disease:
- SED-congenity - transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner, occurrence is sporadic;
- SED-tarda − is inherited gonosomally recessively, this method of transmission is more common.
