Metaphyseal dysplasia, or Pyle disease, [3] is a disorder of the bones. It is a rare disease in which the outer part of the shafts of long bones is thinner than normal and there is an increased chance of fractures .
Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Strudwick type is an inherited disorder of bone growth that results in dwarfism, characteristic skeletal abnormalities, and problems with vision. [1] The name of the condition indicates that it affects the bones of the spine (spondylo-) and two regions near the ends of bones ( epiphyses and metaphyses ).
Verloes Van Maldergem Marneffe syndrome, also known as microspherophakia-metaphyseal dysplasia is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by flattened and deformed vertebrae, developmental delay, dysplasia of the epiphyses and metaphyses, lens coloboma and dislocation, microspherophakia, nearsightedness, retinal detachment, and spinal stenosis.
Metaphyseal tumors or lesions include osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, osteoblastoma, enchondroma, fibrous dysplasia, simple bone cyst, aneurysmal bone cyst, non-ossifying fibroma, and osteoid osteoma. [5] One of the clinical signs of rickets that doctors look for is cupping and fraying at the metaphyses when seen on X-ray.
Metaphyseal chondrodysplasia Schmid type is a type of chondrodysplasia associated with a deficiency of collagen, type X, alpha 1. [2] [3] [4]Unlike other "rickets syndromes", affected individuals have normal serum calcium, phosphorus, and urinary amino acid levels.
Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, East-African type is a rare genetic disorder which is characterized by skeletal abnormalities involving the vertebrae and the metaphysis. Only two isolated cases have been reported.
Pseudoachondroplasia (also known as PSACH, pseudoachondroplastic dysplasia, and pseudoachondroplastic spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia syndrome) is an osteochondrodysplasia that results in mild to severely short stature due to the inhibition of skeletal growth primarily in the limbs. [2]
Jansen's metaphyseal chondrodysplasia is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Jansen's metaphyseal chondrodysplasia ( JMC ) is a disease that results from ligand -independent activation of the type 1 ( PTH1R ) of the parathyroid hormone receptor , due to one of three reported mutations (activating mutation).
