Disease Profile

Dysosteosclerosis

Prevalence
Prevalence estimates on Rare Medical Network websites are calculated based on data available from numerous sources, including US and European government statistics, the NIH, Orphanet, and published epidemiologic studies. Rare disease population data is recognized to be highly variable, and based on a wide variety of source data and methodologies, so the prevalence data on this site should be assumed to be estimated and cannot be considered to be absolutely correct.

Inheritance

Autosomal dominant A pathogenic variant in only one gene copy in each cell is sufficient to cause an autosomal dominant disease.

Autosomal recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of each gene of the chromosome are needed to cause an autosomal recessive disease and observe the mutant phenotype.

X-linked
dominant X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.

X-linked
recessive Pathogenic variants in both copies of a gene on the X chromosome cause an X-linked recessive disorder.

Mitochondrial or multigenic Mitochondrial genetic disorders can be caused by changes (mutations) in either the mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA that lead to dysfunction of the mitochondria and inadequate production of energy.

Multigenic or multifactor Inheritance involving many factors, of which at least one is genetic but none is of overwhelming importance, as in the causation of a disease by multiple genetic and environmental factors.

Orpha Number: 1782

Definition
Dysosteosclerosis is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by progressive osteosclerosis and platyspondyly.

Epidemiology
Less than 30 cases have been reported in the literature to date.

Clinical description
The disease is characterized by sclerosis of the skull base, ribs, clavicles, scapulae, mid-diaphyses and increased bone fragility. Patients have a prominent forehead, narrow midface, flattening of the vertebral bodies and dental anomalies. Short stature, optic atrophy, hearing impairment, epilepsy, skin changes, and progressive psychomotor deficit are frequent.

Etiology
The disease is caused by mutations in SLC29A33. This gene encodes a nucleoside transporter. Mutations in this gene may also cause Faisalabad histiocytosis, RosaÔ-Dorfman disease, H syndrome, and pigmented hypertrichosis with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus syndrome (see these terms). Parental consanguinity has been noted in some cases.

Genetic counseling
Dysosteosclerosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, but an X-linked pedigree has also been reported.

Prognosis
The overall prognosis is generally poor.

Symptoms

This table lists symptoms that people with this disease may have. For most diseases, symptoms will vary from person to person. People with the same disease may not have all the symptoms listed. This information comes from a database called the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) . The HPO collects information on symptoms that have been described in medical resources. The HPO is updated regularly. Use the HPO ID to access more in-depth information about a symptom.
