-
A lethal skeletal dysplasia with characteristics of cloverleaf skull anomaly, facial dysmorphism, limb shortness, splenic hypo/aplasia and radiological anomalies including thin tubular bones with flared metaphyses and deficient calvarial mineralisation. First described in 1989, less than 30 cases have been reported so far. Aetiology is not well known, but some histological findings report growth plate disorganisation and adjacent diaphyseal ossification. There is evidence that the disease is caused by heterozygous mutation in the FAM111A gene (615292) on chromosome 11q12.
