Cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD), also known as Cleidocranial dysplasia, is a rare genetic disorder primarily affecting bone and dental development. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, typically resulting from mutations in the RUNX2 gene[1].
Clinical Presentation[edit]
Characteristics of CCD include skeletal and dental abnormalities. The most characteristic features are underdeveloped or absent clavicles (collar bones), which results in individuals being able to bring their shoulders together in front of their body. Dental anomalies, including delayed loss of primary teeth and delayed eruption of secondary teeth, are common. Other features include delayed or incomplete closure of the fontanelles, a prominent forehead, wide-set eyes (hypertelorism), a flat nose, and a short stature. Spinal abnormalities, such as scoliosis, may also occur[2].
Genetics[edit]
CCD is caused by mutations in the RUNX2 gene, located on chromosome 6p21. RUNX2 is essential for the development of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation[3].
Diagnosis and Management[edit]
Diagnosis of CCD is primarily based on clinical examination and radiographic findings, but can be confirmed by genetic testing. Management of CCD is mainly supportive and involves a multidisciplinary approach, including orthopedic management for skeletal anomalies and dental interventions for oral health.
