Frontometaphyseal dysplasia: autosomal dominant or X-linked?

RESUMO

The clinical and radiographic manifestations in a 45-year-old male with frontometaphyseal dysplasia (FMD) are documented and depicted. Deafness and degenerative osteoarthropathy in weight-bearing joints were the main clinical problems. Widespread patchy cranial sclerosis was reminiscent of Paget's disease, while digital deformity resembled rheumatoid arthritis. On the basis of a review and tabulation of published reports, evidence emerges to support the concept of X-linked inheritance. The relationship between FMD and osteodysplasty remains a matter for speculation.
