Disease

Name Baratela-Scott Syndrome/Desbuquois dysplasia 2
Inheritance
Description
Desbuquois dysplasia, which belongs to the multiple dislocation group of disorders, is characterized by dislocations of large joints, severe pre- and postnatal growth retardation, joint laxity, and flat face with prominent eyes. Radiologic features include short long bones with an exaggerated trochanter that gives a 'monkey wrench' appearance to the proximal femur, and advanced carpal and tarsal ossification .
Prevalence
<1/1,000,000 births ; repeat expansions comprise half of DBQD variants . <50 DBQD cases. Has been found in Belgian and Emirati families.
