Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
617547 | OMIM | Retinal dystrophy with or without macular staphyloma (RDMS) | An ocular disorder characterized by decreased vision which worsen over time, and dystrophic changes in the retina, such as retinal pigment epithelium mottling and vessel narrowing. Macular staphyloma, without high myopia, is present in some patients. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
602271 | OMIM | Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, axial (SMDAX) | A form of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, a group of short stature disorders distinguished by abnormalities in the vertebrae and the metaphyses of the tubular bones. SMDAX is characterized by metaphyseal changes of truncal-juxtatruncal bones, including the proximal femora. Main clinical features are postnatal growth failure, rhizomelic short stature in early childhood evolving into short trunk in late childhood, and thoracic hypoplasia that may cause mild to moderate respiratory problems in the neonatal period and later susceptibility to airway infection. Impaired visual acuity comes to medical attention in early life and function rapidly deteriorates. Retinal changes are diagnosed as retinitis pigmentosa or pigmentary retinal degeneration on fundoscopic examination and cone-rod dystrophy on electroretinogram. The radiological hallmarks include short ribs with flared, cupped anterior ends, mild spondylar dysplasia, lacy iliac crests, and metaphyseal irregularities essentially confined to the proximal femora. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
