Journal Article
A three-generation family with metaphyseal dysplasia, maxillary hypoplasia and brachydactyly (MDMHB) due to intragenic RUNX2 duplication
2018
Overview
Metaphyseal dysplasia with maxillary hypoplasia and brachydactyly (MDMHB) is an autosomal-dominant skeletal dysplasia characterised by metaphyseal flaring of the long bones, enlargement of the medial halves of the clavicles, maxillary hypoplasia, brachydactyly, dental anomalies and mild osteoporosis. To date, only one large French Canadian family and a Finnish woman have been reported with the condition. In both, intragenic duplication encompassing exons 3–5 of the RUNX2 gene was identified. We describe a new, three-generation family with clinical features of MDMHB and an intragenic tandem duplication of RUNX2 exons 3–6. Dental problems were the primary presenting feature in all four affected individuals. We compare the features in our family to those previously reported in MDMHB, review the natural history of this condition and highlight the importance of considering an underlying skeletal dysplasia in patients presenting with significant dental problems and other suggestive features, including disproportionate short stature and/or digital anomalies.
