This chapter discusses acromesomelic and acromelic dysplasias/dysostoses and related disorders and includes discussion on acromesomelic dysplasias (Maroteaux type), Grebe dysplasia, brachydactyly A1, brachydactyly B, brachydactyly C, brachydactyly D, brachydactyly E, brachydactyly (Christian type), tricho-rhino-phalangeal dysplasia (type 1), tricho-rhino-phalangeal dysplasia (type 2), acrocapitofemoral dysplasia, Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, acrodysostosis, geleophysic dysplasia, acromicric dysplasia, Myhre syndrome, and SOFT syndrome. Each discussion includes major radiographic features, major clinical findings, genetics, major differential diagnoses, and a bibliography.
Lack of resemblance between Myhre syndrome and other “segmental progeroid” syndromes warrants restraint in applying this classification
