Description

Grebe type chondrodysplasia is a rare recessively inherited acromesomelic dysplasia clinically characterized by dwarfism with severe micromelia. Radiologically, it is characterized by short and deformed middle long bones, fusion of carpal bones and several metacarpal and metatarsal, and absence of proximal and middle phalanges. Other features include obesity and delayed mental development, but facial appearance and intelligence are normal with no vertebral abnormalities.

Grebe syndrome is associated with mutations in the CDMP1 gene, which encodes Growth/differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5). GDF-5 protein is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) family and the TGF-beta superfamily.

Other Reports

Jordan

Hattab et al. (1996) described a 9-year-old Arab boy presenting oral and dental abnormalities associated with a distinct variety of severe short-limb dwarfism. The affected boy had delayed development and eruption of teeth, severe oligodontia of permanent dentition, hypodontia, microdontia, supplemental incisor, enamel hypoplasia of primary teeth, doubled and abnormal frenal attachments, bifid uvula, hypoplastic maxilla, and malocclusion. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed asymmetric dysplasia and anaplasia of long bones, craniofacial dysmorphia, prominent forehead, budlike fingers and bulbous toes, dysplastic nails, severe hearing loss, and reduced joint mobility.
