| 609220 | OMIM | Bruck syndrome 2 (BRKS2) | An autosomal recessive disease characterized by generalized osteopenia, congenital joint contractures, fragile bones with onset of fractures in infancy or early childhood, short stature, severe limb deformity, progressive scoliosis, and pterygia. It is distinguished from osteogenesis imperfecta by the absence of hearing loss and dentinogenesis imperfecta, and by the presence of clubfoot and congenital joint limitations. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. The molecular defect leading to Bruck syndrome is an aberrant cross-linking of bone collagen, due to underhydroxylation of lysine residues within the telopeptides of type I collagen, whereas the lysine residues in the triple helix are normal. |
