Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
166600 | OMIM | Osteopetrosis, autosomal dominant 2 (OPTA2) | A rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. Osteopetrosis occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. OPTA2 is the most common form of osteopetrosis, occurring in adolescence or adulthood. It is characterized by sclerosis, predominantly involving the spine, the pelvis and the skull base. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
611490 | OMIM | Osteopetrosis, autosomal recessive 4 (OPTB4) | A rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. Osteopetrosis occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Recessive osteopetrosis commonly manifests in early infancy with macrocephaly, feeding difficulties, evolving blindness and deafness, bone marrow failure, severe anemia, and hepatosplenomegaly. Deafness and blindness are generally thought to represent effects of pressure on nerves. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
618541 | OMIM | Hypopigmentation, organomegaly, and delayed myelination and development (HOD) | An autosomal dominant pleiotropic syndrome characterized by skin and hair hypopigmentation, growth and developmental delay, organomegaly including enlarged liver, spleen and kidneys, delayed brain myelination and developmental deficit in motor skills. Skin and liver biopsies show cellular accumulation of large intracellular vacuoles. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
