Autosomal dominant spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda
Definition[edit | edit source]
Autosomal domiant spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (autosomal dominant SEDT) is an inherited condition that affects bone growth.
Cause[edit | edit source]
Some cases of autosomal dominant SEDT may be caused by changes (mutations) in the COL2A1 gene.
Inheritance[edit | edit source]
As the name suggests, the condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
Signs and symptoms[edit | edit source]
Signs and symptoms are generally physically apparent by puberty; however, abnormalities may be seen on X-ray at an earlier age. Affected people may have skeletal abnormalities, short stature (with a short neck and trunk, specifically), scoliosis, kyphosis, lumbar hyperlordosis (exaggerated curvature of the lower back), and early-onset progressive osteoarthritis of the hips and knees.
