Fungal or parasitic: In an immunocompromised host, fungal or even parasitic joint
infections may occur and relevant studies must be sent from joint fluid/serum per clinicalsuspicion.SBEwillsometimescauseanimmune-relatedarthritis,unrelatedto directinfection. In the proper clinical setting (fever,heart murmur, embolic events), bloodculturesareindicated.
Viral:Manyvirusescancausearthritis,includingthejointsofthefoot.Theseincludeviral
infectionslikehepatitisC,B;mosquito-borneviralillnesseslikedengue,chikungunya, etc.DenguefeverisdiagnosedwithIgMimmunoassayELISA.Chikungunyamayhave arthritisandarthralgiasymptomsmainlyinthebackandlowerextremityforweeksor sometimesyears.Laboratorycriteriaincludeadecreasedlymphocytecountconsistent withviremia.However,adefinitivelaboratorydiagnosiscanbeaccomplishedthrough viralisolation,reversetranscriptionpolymerasechainreaction,orserologicdiagnosis.
LÖFGRENSYNDROME
Löfgrensyndromeisanacuteformofsarcoidosischaracterizedbyerythemanodosum(tender rednodules),bilateralhilarlymphadenopathy,andpolyarthralgiaorpolyarthritis.Thearthritis isoftenacuteandinvolvesthelowerextremities,especiallyanklejoints.Besidesthephysical examfindingsofinflammatoryarthritisandimagingwithlymphadenopathy,serumangiotensin­converting enzyme, vitaminD(1,25)-OH, andcalcium levels are often increased;however, noneoftheseabnormalitiesarespecific.
VASCULITIS–VASCULOPATHIES
Avarietyofvasculiticsyndromesmaypresentwithmanifestationsinthefeet.Onemajormode ofpresentationisvascularinsufficiency.Thismayinitiallycauseclaudication,andmaylater progress to pallor, cyanosis, ulceration, and eventually gangrene of the toes or feet. Often, small-vessel vasculitis will present as a rash or palpable purpura. Hydrostatic forces are thought to play a role in their preferential appearance in the lower extremities. Finally, neuropathyresultingfrominfarctionofthevasanervorummayhavemajormanifestationsinthe foot, and sometimes, the first presentation of it may be a foot drop. This is a medical emergency.Immunologiccausesofvasculitisoftenhavecharacteristiclaboratoryfindings.For example, activegeneralizedgranulomatosiswith polyangiitis(GPA), formerlyreferred toas Wegener granulomatosis, is highly associated with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA).
These antibodies cause a characteristic pattern of cytoplasmic granular staining with immunofluorescence.Theantibodiesappeartobedirectedagainstproteinase3(PR3),aserine proteasefoundintheprimarygranules ofneutrophils. C-ANCAisfoundin90%ofcasesof GPAand is usually not present inothertypes of vasculitis. The titers ofC-ANCA parallel disease activity of GPA. They are not as commonly found in the limited forms of GPA. Antibodiesdirectedagainstmyeloperoxidase(MPO)produceaperinuclearpatternofstaining referred to as P-ANCA. P-ANCAs are characteristic markers of systemic necrotizing

vasculitis, and are seen in microscopic polyarteritis, idiopathic glomerulonephritis, and Churg–Strauss syndrome. ANCA titers sometimes normalize posttreatment. Patients with concomitantC-andP-ANCA may havelevamisole exposure, which is found inadulterated cocaine.The mostcommon drugsthat producethis includepropylthiouracil, hydralazine, or minocycline.
Atypical ANCAs directedagainsttargetsother than MPOand PR3 arefoundina wide variety of conditions. These include inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, chronic infections, RA, HIV, and others. Mounting evidence directly implicates ANCAs in the pathogenesisofvasculitis.
HENOCH–SCHÖNLEINPURPURA
Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) is a disease of the skin and other organs like kidney. It causespalpablepurpura(smallhemorrhages),oftenwithjointandabdominalpain.HSPisa systemic vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) and is characterized by deposition of immune complexes containing the antibody IgA mainly in skin and kidneys. Along with increased inflammatory markers, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine, there is raised serum levelsofIgA.Theplateletcountmayberaised,anddistinguishesitfromdiseaseswherelow plateletsarethe causeofthepurpura.On biopsy,immunofluorescencedemonstratesIgAand C3bloodvesselwall.
CRYOGLOBULINEMIA
Cryoglobulins are usuallyimmune complexes (rarelythey includeother serum constituents) thatprecipitateatlowtemperatures.
Type I cryoglobulinemia is associated withmonoclonal Igs suchas those occurring in Waldenström disease, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma. These are mostly of the IgM subtype. TypeIIcryoglobulinemiaiscomposedofamixofpolyclonalIgGsandmonoclonalIgM­RFboundtoautologousIgG. Type III cryoglobulinemia is the most common typeandcontains polyclonal IgGs and polyclonalIgM-RFboundtopolygonalIgG.
ManypatientswithtypeIIorIIIcryoglobulinshavehepatitisCinfection.Thus,evaluationfor hepatitis Cwith appropriate antibody tests is usually warranted. Hepatitis Cinfectionmay causesmall-vesselvasculitis,oftenaffectingthelowerextremities.HepatitisB,endocarditis, and many other infections may be associated with cryoglobulins. The typical presentation includesapalpablepurpuraonthelowerextremitiesinnearlyallpatients.Ischemictoesmay alsodevelop.PatientswithtypeIIandtypeIIIcryoglobulinemiawillhaveafalse-positiveRF.
Diagnosis requiresthe identificationof a cryoprecipitateintheserum. Bloodshouldbe keptatbodytemperature(37°C)untiltheserumisseparated.Theserumisthenkeptat4°Cfor 48hoursandexaminedforaprecipitate.Theprecipitateisexpressedasa percentage ofthe
https://t.me/medicina_free
serum volume, and may be further characterized by electrophoresis and immunofixation. Complementactivation mayfrequentlybepresent onlabevaluation. Inaddition,evidenceof glomerulonephritisandnephrosismaybepresent(e.g.,activeurinesediment,proteinuria,and abnormalrenalfunctiontests).
DERMATOMYOSITIS/POLYMYOSITIS
Dermatomyositis andpolymyositis are characterized byinflammationofthemuscles, which causesbothpainandweakness.Dermatomyositisisalsocharacterizedbyinflammationofthe skin. Increased muscle enzymes are a hallmark, and muscle markers like creatine kinase, aldolase, myoglobin, and lactate dehydrogenase are elevated. Sometimes, aspartate transaminase and alanine transaminase are also increased as a result. Dermatomyositis is associatedwithautoantibodies,especiallyanti-Mi-2antibodies,andtoalesserextentanti-Jo­1 antibodies, which are more commonly seen in polymyositis. Myositis-associated and myositis-specific antibodies including anti-Jo-1 andotheranti-synthetase antibodies may be elevated.
SCLERODERMA
Scleroderma, also known as systemic sclerosis (SSc), is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by hardening (sclero) of the skin (derma) with widespread vascular dysfunction and progressive fibrosis of not only the skin but also internal organs. Limited cutaneousSScmayhavefeaturesofCRESTsyndromeandonlydistalextremityinvolvement. Anti-DNAtopoisomeraseI(Scl-70)antibodiesaregenerallyassociatedwithdiffusecutaneous SSc (dcSSc). Anticentromere antibody is usually associated with limited cutaneous SSc. AntibodiestoRNApolymeraseIIIarefoundinpatientswithdcSScandareatincreasedrisk for scleroderma renal crisis. All patients with newly diagnosed scleroderma should be appropriatelycancerscreened.
AUTOINFLAMMATORYDISEASES
Autoinflammatorydiseasesareagroupofgeneticallydiversebutclinicallysimilardisorders characterized by recurrent fever associated with rash, serositis, lymphadenopathy, and musculoskeletal involvement. These fevers occur in the absence of any infections or malignancy. These include familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 associated periodic syndrome, etc. Some people consider Still disease an autoinflammatorydiseaseeventhoughithassomefeaturesofthatofRA.Itischaracterizedby quotidian(daily)fevers,arthritis,andanevanescentrash.
Inflammatorymarkers,suchasCRPandESR,areelevatedduringdiseaseflaresandmay sometimes be abnormal between episodes in these diseases. Genetic tests for various autoinflammatory diseases like FMF are available. Commonly, ferritin and IL-18 are substantiallyelevatedinthesediseases.

HYPERCOAGULABLESTATES
A number of hypercoagulable states may present in muchthesame wayasthe vasculitides. These include disorders of coagulation related to deficiency of factor C, factor S, and antithrombinIII.Factor5Leidenmutationmayalsoleadtoahypercoagulablestate,especially in the homozygous form. Specific coagulation assays should be performed when these conditionsaresuspected,particularlyifthereisafamilyhistoryofcoagulopathy.
GENOME-WIDEASSOCIATIONSTUDY
Agenome-wideassociationstudy(GWAS)isanexaminationofmanycommongeneticvariants indifferentindividualstoseeifanyvariantisassociatedwithatrait.GWAStypicallyfocuses on associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms and traitslike major diseases by comparing patients with disease to that of normals, thus providing insights into associated molecular mechanisms. RA, SLE, ankylosing spondylitis, and some other autoimmune rheumaticdiseasesarecomplexgeneticdisease,wherethereisevidenceoffamilialclustering, but not ofMendelianinheritance. Disease-associated loci identified to date reveals greater sharing of risk loci among the groups of seropositive (diseases in which specific autoantibodiesareoftenpresent)orseronegativediseasesthanbetweenthesetwogroups.The natureofthesharedanddiscordantlocisuggestsimportantdifferencesandsimilaritiesamong thesediseases,andhelpsidentifynewtherapeutictargets.Thiswouldhelpdiagnosediseases
intheat-riskpopulationandalsotodeveloptargetedtherapiesinthefuture.

NODULES
In addition to gout and RA, hyperlipidemia may cause skin nodules. Type II hyperlipoproteinemia may present with Achilles tendinitis and tenosynovitis. Asymmetric oligoarticularsynovitishasbeen describedintypeIVhyperlipoproteinemia.Cholesteroland triglycerideprofilesareusefulintheevaluationofthesedisorders.
From this discussion, it is clear that laboratory testing is an invaluable part of the diagnosticprocess. However,itisbestusedonlyinadirectedfashionand only aspartofa completeevaluationthatincludesahistoryandphysicalexamination.

his chapter focuses on skeletal dysplasias and metabolic bone diseases with
manifestations in the feet. Although a strong association between osteoporosis and fractures has not yet been established, the contribution of this condition (which is quite commoninpostmenopausalwomen)torecurrentfracturesandtheirhealingprocessshouldnot beoverlooked.Inaddition,otherrareorpossiblyunderrecognizedmetabolicbonediseases suchashypophosphatasia(HPP)andPagetdiseasemayincludefootlesions.Oftentheastute clinicianmayrecognizethepresenceofaskeletaldysplasiainapatientwithanalreadyknown orevennotknowdiagnosisandthenappropriatelyreferthispatientforfurtherevaluationand management.
SKELETALDYSPLASIAS
Severalsyndromesassociatedwithskeletaldysplasiasmaymanifestwithabnormalitiesofthe feet. Oftentheseare hereditary, andidentificationofaprobandpatientmayhavesignificant implicationsfor the whole family. A carefulclinicalinspection andexaminationaswell as evaluationofradiographicabnormalitiesmayleadtotheidentificationofabroadersyndrome thatmayrequireamultidisciplinarymanagementapproach.
Geneticdisordersoftheskeleton are aclinicallyandgeneticallyheterogeneous group of
disorders of bone and/or cartilage characterized by abnormalities in growth, development, and/or homeostasis of the human skeleton.1 They include the osteochondrodysplasias
(primarilyaffectingboneand/orcartilage),thedysostoses(affectingasingleboneorgroupof bones),thebrachydactylies(primarilyinvolvingthehandsandfeet),andthelysosomalstorage diseases.Althoughrelativelyrareindividually,theskeletaldysplasiashaveanestimatedbirth
prevalence of nearly 1/5,000.2 It is now apparent that there are over 450 distinct genetic disordersoftheskeletonthatmustbedistinguishedforspecificgeneticcounseling,prognosis, andtreatment.Oftheseconditions,316areassociatedwithoneormoreof226differentgenes.
Osteopoikilosis
Osteopoikilosis (“spotted bones”) is an autosomal dominant condition with an interesting radiographic appearance that may commonly affect the tarsal bones. If associated with
https://t.me/medicina_free
connective tissue nevi and dermatofibrosis lenticularis disseminata, the disorder is the Buschke–Ollendorffsyndrome.3DeactivatingmutationsintheLEMD3genewereidentified.
4
Osteopoikilosis (OMIM #166700)is usuallyanincidentalfinding. Thebonelesions are
asymptomatic,butifnotunderstoodcaninitiateacostlyinvestigationformetastaticdisease.
5
Familymembersatriskshouldbescreenedwitharadiographofawristandkneeinearlyadult life. Joint contractionsandlimb length inequality mayoccur,especiallyinindividuals with accompanying changes of melorheostosis (discussed below). The nevi usually involve the lower trunk or extremities andare smallasymptomaticpapulesoryellow or whitediscs or
plaques,deepnodules,orstreaks.
3
There are numerous, small, usually round or oval, foci of osteosclerosis. Commonly
affectedsitesaretheendsoftheshorttubularbones,metaepiphysesoflongbones,andtarsal, carpal,andpelvicbones.Lesionsremainstablefordecades.Bonescanisnormal.
5
Dermatofibrosislenticularis disseminataconsistsofunusuallybroad,markedlybranched,
interlacing elastin fibers in the dermis; however, the epidermis is normal.3 Foci of osteosclerosisarethickenedtrabeculaethatmergewithsurroundingnormalboneorareislands of cortical bone that include haversian systems. Mature lesions appear to be remodeling slowly.
OsteopathiaStriata
Osteopathiastriata(OMIM#166500,autosomaldominant)featureslinearstriationsattheend of long bones and the ileum. Like osteopoikilosis, it is usually a radiographic diagnosis. Gracile linear striations are found in cancellous bone, particularly withinmetaepiphyses of majorlongbonesandtheperipheryoftheiliacbones.Carpal,tarsal,andtubularbonesofthe handsandfeetarelessoftenandmoresubtlyaffected.Thestriationsappearstableforyears.
Bonescanisalsonormal.
5
Melorheostosis
Melorheostosis(OMIM#155950),fromtheGreekwordsforlimb,flow,andbone,refersto “flowinghyperostosis.”Theradiographicappearanceresembleswaxthathasdrippeddowna
candle. About 200 cases have been published6 since the first description in 1922.
7
Melorheostosisoccurssporadicallyandmayaccompanyosteopoikilosis.
Melorheostosistypicallypresentsduringchildhood,usuallywithmonomelicinvolvement; bilateral disease is characteristically asymmetrical. Cutaneous changes may overlie the skeletal lesions and include linear scleroderma-like patches and hypertrichosis. Fibromas, fibrolipomas, capillary hemangiomas, lymphangiectasia, and arterial aneurysms can also
occur.8Softtissueabnormalitiesareoftennotedbeforethehyperostosis.Painandstiffnessare themajorsymptoms.Affectedjointsmaydevelopcontractures,andleglengthdiscrepancycan follow premature fusion of epiphyses. Bone lesions seem to advance most rapidly during
childhood.Inadultlife,melorheostosismaynotalwaysprogress.9Nevertheless,painismore frequentwhenthereiscontinuingsubperiostealboneformation.
Dense,irregular,andeccentrichyperostosisofbothperiostealandendostealsurfacesofa
https://t.me/medicina_free
singlebone,orseveraladjacentbones,isthehallmarkofmelorheostosis.6Anybonemaybe affected,butthelowerextremitiesaremostcommonlyinvolved.Bonecanalsodevelopinsoft tissuesnear skeletal lesions,particularlynear joints. Melorheostotic boneis hyperemic and “hot” during bone scanning. Serum calcium, inorganic phosphate (Pi), and alkaline phosphataselevelsarenormal.
Melorheostosis features endosteal thickening during growth and periosteal new bone formationduring adultlife.6Affectedbones arescleroticwiththickened,irregularlamellae. Marrowfibrosismaybepresent.6Intheskin,unlikeintruescleroderma,thecollagen ofthe
scleroderma-likelesionsappearsnormaland hasthereforebeencalled linearmelorheostotic scleroderma.
10
Pachydermoperiostosis
Pachydermoperiostosis (hypertrophic osteoarthropathy: primary or idiopathic; OMIM #167100)causesclubbingofthedigits,hyperhidrosisandthickeningoftheskinespeciallyon thefaceandforehead(cutisverticisgyrata),andperiostealnewboneformation,particularlyin thedistalextremities.Autosomaldominantandrecessiveinheritancewithvariableexpression
is established.11 In 2008, autosomal recessive pachydermoperiostosis was elucidated by a loss-of-function mutation within the gene that encodes 15-hydroxyprostaglandin
dehydrogenase.
12
Men seem to be more severely affected than women and blacks more commonly than whites. Age at presentation is variable, but usuallyit is during adolescence. All principal features(clubbing,periostitis,andpachydermia)troublesomepatients;othershavejustoneor
two. Clinical manifestations emerge over a decade and can then abate.12 Progressive enlargement of the hands and feet may cause a paw-like appearance, and there may be excessive perspiration. Acro-osteolysis can occur. Fatigue and arthralgias of the elbows, wrists,knees,andanklesarecommon.Stiffnessandlimitedmobilityofboththeappendicular and the axial skeleton may develop. Compression of cranial or spinal nerves has been described.Cutaneous changesincludecoarsening,thickening,furrowing,pitting, andoiliness of the skin, especially the scalp and face. Myelophthisic anemia with extramedullary hematopoiesismayoccur.Lifeexpectancyisnotcompromised.
Severe periostitis thickens tubular bones distally: typically the radius, ulna, tibia, and fibula, andsometimes themetacarpals, tarsals/metatarsals,clavicles,pelvis,skull base, and phalanges.Clubbingisobvious,andacro-osteolysiscanoccur.Thespineisrarelyinvolved. Ankylosis ofjoints,especiallyinthehands andfeet,maytrouble older patients. Themajor challenge indifferentialdiagnosis is secondaryhypertrophic osteoarthropathy(pulmonaryor otherwise). Here, however, the radiographic features are somewhat different, featuring
periosteal reaction that is typically smooth and undulating.13 In pachydermoperiostosis, periostealproliferationisexuberant,irregular,andofteninvolvesepiphyses.Bonescanningin eitherconditionrevealssymmetrical,diffuse,regularuptakealongthecorticalmarginsoflong bones,especiallyinthelegs,causinga“doublestripe”sign.
Nascent periosteal bone roughens cortical bone surfaces and undergoes cancellous compaction so that centrally it can be difficult to distinguish histopathologically from the
https://t.me/medicina_free
originalcortex. Theremayalso be osteopenia oftrabecular bonefrom quiescent formation. Mildcellularhyperplasiaandthickeningofbloodvesselsisfoundnearsynovialmembranes,
butsynovialfluidisunremarkable.

Fibrousdysplasiaofbone(FD)(OMIM#174800)is anuncommonskeletaldisorderwitha broadspectrumofclinicalpresentation.Onone endofthespectrum,patientsmaypresentin later life with an incidentally discovered, asymptomatic radiographic finding that is of no clinicalconsequence.Ontheotherendofthespectrum,patientsmaypresentearlyinlifewitha disabling disease. The disease may involve one bone (monostotic FD), multiple bones
(polyostotic FD), or the entire skeleton (panostotic FD).
15–17
 FD may be associated with extraskeletal manifestations, the most common of which is areas of cutaneous hyperpigmentationcommonlyreferredtoascaféaulaitmacules.Theselesionsvarywidelyin size but have characteristic features that include jagged, “coast of Maine” borders, some relationshipwiththemidline,andsometimesfollowthedevelopmentallinesofBlaschko.FD canalsobeassociatedwithhyperfunctioningendocrinopathies,includingprecociouspuberty, hyperthyroidism, growth hormone (GH) excess, and Cushing syndrome. FD in combination withoneormoreoftheextraskeletalmanifestationsisknownasMcCune–Albrightsyndrome
(MAS).
18–21
Arenaltubulopathy,whichincludesrenalphosphatewasting,isoneofthemost commonextraskeletaldysfunctionsassociatedwithpolyostoticdisease.22Morerarely,FDmay beassociatedwithmyxomasofskeletalmuscle(Mazabraudsyndrome)23ordysfunctionofthe heart,liver,pancreas,orotherorganswithinthecontextoftheMAS.
24
FD is caused by missense mutations of the GNAS complex locus on chromosome
20q13.3.
25–27
GNASencodesthealphasubunitofthestimulatoryGprotein(Gsα)involvedin
the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent signaling pathway. The mutation impairs the intrinsic GTPase activity of Gsα, leading to persistent stimulation of adenylyl
cyclaseandaberrantproductionofcAMP(gain-of-functionmutations).28MutationsofGNAS associatedwithFDandrelateddisordersareneverinheritedandcouldtheoreticallyoccurat anytimeduringpostzygoticdevelopment.However,thereisinvolvementofapluripotentcell as the initial target of the disease, thus explaining how the mutation can be transmitted to derivativesofallthreegermlayersandbebroadlydistributedinpatientswithsevereformsof thedisease.Atthesametime,differencesinthesizeandviabilityoftheclonearisingfromthe original mutated pluripotent cell could account for the variability of theclinical phenotype
observedinthemajorityofFDpatients.
29
The pathology of FD is characterized by the development of fibro-osseous lesions that
replacenormalskeletalstructuresandimpairnormalskeletalfunctions.
Thesitesofskeletalinvolvement(the “map”ofaffectedtissues)areestablishedearlyin patientswithFD.Ninetypercentofthecraniofaciallesionsareestablishedbeforetheageof5, and75%ofallsitesofFDareevidentbytheageof15;theimplicationisthatessentiallyall
clinically significant disease is present very early in life, probably by the age of 5.

PathologiceffectsofGsαmutationsinosteogeniccellsaremostpronouncedandevidentduring thephaseofrapidbonegrowth,andaccountforthefactthatchildhoodandadolescencearethe
periodsduringwhichthediseasemostcommonlypresents,isthemostsymptomatic,andisthe periodofpeakrateoffractures.

Themostcommonpresentingfeaturesarealimp,pain,or afracture.Anybonecanbeaffectedincludingthefeet,althoughmostcommonlytheribs,long bones, and craniofacial bones are affected, whereas lesions in the spine and pelvis are
typicallylesspainful.32Pathologicfracturesofweight-bearinglimbbonesareamajorcauseof morbidity.Deformityoflimbbones,whichisacommonfinding,iscausedbyexpansionand abnormal compliance of lesional FD, fracture treatment failure, and occasionally local
complications such as cyst formation.29 Malignancy in FD is rare (less than 1%).33 Rapid lesionexpansionanddisruptionofthecortexonradiographsshouldalertthecliniciantothe possibilityofsarcomatouschange.Osteogenicsarcomaisthemostcommon,butisnottheonly typeofbonetumorthatmaycomplicateFD.
DiagnosisofFDmustbeestablishedbasedonexpertassessmentofclinical,radiographic,
andhistopathologicfeatures.Markersofboneturnoverareusuallyelevated.22Theextentofthe skeletaldiseaseis bestdetermined with totalbodybone scintigraphy,whichcanbe usedto
assess the skeletal disease burden and predict functional outcome.34 Patients should be referred to an endocrinologist for screening and treatment of the metabolic derangements associatedwithFD,especiallyhypophosphatemiaandGHexcess.
MutationanalysismaybehelpfulindistinguishingFDfromunrelatedfibro-osseouslesions
of the skeleton, which may mimic FD both clinically and radiographically (osteofibrous dysplasia, ossifying fibromas).29 Multiple nonossifying fibromas, skeletal angiomatosis, and
Ollierdiseasemaysometimesenterthe differentialdiagnosis. Distinctionfrom theseentities reliesonhistologyandmutationanalysis.
AcromelicandAcromicricDysplasias
Acromelicdysplasiaandacromicricdysplasia(AD)arebecauseofinheritedmutationsinthe gene for fibrillin-1 (FBN1). Fibrillin is a fibril-forming extracellular matrix protein with
importantrolesinthedevelopment,growth,andmaintenanceofskeletalelements.

Themostwell-knownofthesesyndromesisMarfansyndrome, whichisassociatedwith handoffvalueswithforefootabductionandlowering ofthe midget(pes planus). Individuals withMarfansyndrome(OMIM#154700,autosomaldominantinheritance,1in5,000)display major disease features in the skeleton: tall stature and arachnodactyly, scoliosis and chest deformities, joint hypermobility and muscle wasting, pes planus, and craniofacial abnormalities, including a highly arched palate. Multiple features in other organs (cardiovascular,ocular,skin,lung,andcentralnervoussystem)arealsopresent.Prevalenceof skeletalfeatureschangeswithaging.Inchildren,pesplanusprevalencedecreasedfrom73%
to65%betweenages0and6years.
36
Theacromelicdysplasiagroupincludesthreeraredisorders:Weill–Marchesanisyndrome (WMS), geleophysic dysplasia (GD), and AD, all characterizedby short stature, short and stubbyhandsandfeetthatareshorterthanexpectedfortheirheight,stiffjoints,delayedbone
