Alternate names
Lethal metaphyseal dysplasia
Definition
Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD), Sedaghatian type is a neonatal lethal form of spondylometaphyseal dysplasia characterized by severe metaphyseal chondrodysplasia, mild rhizomelic shortness of the upper limbs, and mild platyspondyly.
Epidemiology
Nine cases have been reported so far in patients of Iranian, Yemeni and Caucasian origin.
Cause
Cause is unknown
Inheritance
Autosomal recessive inheritance has been suggested.
Signs and symptoms
