Conclusions: US is always the fundamental screening exploration for fetal assessment in nonlethal osteochondrodysplasias.
2
Fetal MRI is a valuable exploration, complementary to prenatal ultrasound bringing in very useful details for the diagnosis of osteochondrodysplasias.
3
These results provide direct evidence implicating PTHrP in normal skeletal development and serve to emphasize its potential involvement in human osteochondrodysplasias.
4
Material and methods: In this tertiary multicentre study were included 37 cases diagnosed prenatally with various entities in the category of nonlethal fetal osteochondrodysplasias.
1
The suspicion of osteochondrodysplasia as a reference diagnosis element has required systematic and thorough ultrasound examination.

1
To date, there has been no curative therapy for this skeletaldysplasia.
2
Results: Nonlethal skeletaldysplasia was suspected and then diagnosed after 17 gestational weeks.
Prenatal ultrasonographic findings revealed intrauterine growth retardation and skeletaldysplasia.
5
Her first pregnancy was terminated in the second trimester due to skeletaldysplasia of the foetus.
6
The global diagnosis of skeletaldysplasia depends to a great extent on the genetic or biochemical abnormality that causes them.
7
In addition, he had a skeletaldysplasia with predominant acromelic involvement and a renal disease characterized by both nephritic and nephrotic changes.
8
Cleidocranial dysplasia is a heritable skeletaldysplasia and one of the most common features of this syndrome is multiple impacted supernumerary teeth.
9
Some mutations present with a male phenotype that is characterized by a severe skeletaldysplasia, cardiac, and genitourinary malformations that leads to perinatal death.
10
Frontometaphyseal dysplasia is an X-linked trait primarily characterized by a skeletaldysplasia comprising hyperostosis of the skull and modeling anomalies of the tubular bones.
11
Clinical manifestations and radiological investigations are crucial for the differential diagnosis in skeletaldysplasias.
12
Conclusions: The knowledge of different phenotypes of skeletaldysplasias helps to select genes for genetic analysis.
13
Skeletaldysplasias are challenging to diagnose because of their phenotypic variability, genetic heterogeneity, and diverse inheritance patterns.
14
The skeletaldysplasias form a large group of hereditary disorders characterized by abnormal growth and malformations of bone and cartilage.
15
Delivery of sufficient enzyme to bone, especially avascular cartilage, to prevent or ameliorate the devastating skeletaldysplasias remains an unmet challenge.
16
Type 2 collagen disorders encompass a diverse group of skeletaldysplasias that are commonly associated with orthopedic, ocular, and hearing problems.
