C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

Osteoglophonic dysplasia (OGD) is characterized by rhizomelic dwarfism, nonossifying bone lesions, craniosynostosis, prominent supraorbital ridge, and depressed nasal bridge (summary by White et al., 2005). [from OMIM]

Additional description

From MedlinePlus Genetics
Osteoglophonic dysplasia is a condition characterized by abnormal bone growth that leads to severe head and face (craniofacial) abnormalities, short stature, and other features. The term osteoglophonic refers to the bones (osteo-) having distinctive hollowed-out (-glophonic) areas that appear as lesions or holes on x-ray images. These lesions typically affect the long bones of the arms and legs.

In people with osteoglophonic dysplasia, bones in the skull often fuse together too early (craniosynostosis). The craniosynostosis seen in people with this disorder may give the head a flat appearance or a "cloverleaf" shape, depending on which bones fuse first. Characteristic facial features in people with osteoglophonic dysplasia include a prominent forehead, widely spaced eyes (hypertelorism) that are prominent (proptosis), low-set ears, a flattening of the bridge of the nose and  the middle of the face (midface hypoplasia), a protruding jaw (prognathism), a high arch in the roof of the mouth (a high-arched palate), and a short neck. People with this condition usually have no visible teeth because the teeth never emerge from the jaw (clinical anodontia). In addition, the gums are often overgrown (hypertrophic gingiva).

Most people with osteoglophonic dysplasia have hollowed lesions in the long bones. These lesions are likely non-ossifying fibromas, which are benign (noncancerous) bone tumors made up of fibrous tissue that does not harden into bone. The lesions appear early in life and gradually increase in size and number during childhood. Later in life, the lesions may get smaller or go away once the bones have stopped growing. Individuals with osteoglophonic dysplasia can also have short, bowed legs and arms. They also have flat feet; overlapping toes; and short, broad hands and fingers.

Infants with osteoglophonic dysplasia often experience failure to thrive, which means they do not gain weight and grow at the expected rate. Affected individuals can experience episodes of increased body temperature and excessive sweating.

Some people with osteoglophonic dysplasia develop pyloric stenosis, which is a narrowing of the opening from the stomach into the small intestines. Others can develop inguinal hernia, in which the contents of the abdomen causes a soft out-pouching through the lower abdominal wall.

The life expectancy of people with osteoglophonic dysplasia depends on the extent of the craniofacial abnormalities. People with abnormalities that obstruct the air passages and affect the mouth and teeth may have respiratory problems and difficulty eating and drinking. Despite the skull abnormalities, intelligence is generally not affected in people with this disorder, but speech delays can occur.  https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/osteoglophonic-dysplasia

Clinical features

From HPO
Cryptorchidism
MedGen UID:
8192
Concept ID:
C0010417
Congenital Abnormality
Cryptorchidism, or failure of testicular descent, is a common human congenital abnormality with a multifactorial etiology that likely reflects the involvement of endocrine, environmental, and hereditary factors. Cryptorchidism can result in infertility and increases risk for testicular tumors. Testicular descent from abdomen to scrotum occurs in 2 distinct phases: the transabdominal phase and the inguinoscrotal phase (summary by Gorlov et al., 2002).

Absence or abnormal closure of the choana (the posterior nasal aperture). Most embryologists believe that posterior choanal atresia results from a failure of rupture between the 35th and 38th day of fetal life of the partition which separates the bucconasal or buccopharyngeal membranes. The resultant choanal atresia may be unilateral or bilateral, bony or membranous, complete or incomplete. In over 90 per cent of cases the obstruction is bony, while in the remainder it is membranous. The bony type of atresia is commonly located 1-2 mm. anterior to the posterior edge of the hard palate, and the osseous septum varies in thickness from 1 to 10 mm. In the membranous form of choanal atresia the obstruction usually occurs further posteriorly. In approximately one third of cases the atresia is bilateral.

Although hypertelorism means an excessive distance between any paired organs (e.g., the nipples), the use of the word has come to be confined to ocular hypertelorism. Hypertelorism occurs as an isolated feature and is also a feature of many syndromes, e.g., Opitz G syndrome (see 300000), Greig cephalopolysyndactyly (175700), and Noonan syndrome (163950) (summary by Cohen et al., 1995).
