Sex-linked chondrodysplasia punctata? 1977

R Happle, and H H Matthiass, and E Macher

Widespread atrophic lesions and pigmentary disturbances of the skin distributed in a linear or whorled pattern, are seen in some patients with chondrodysplasia punctata of the Conradi-Hünermann type. Arguments are presented in favor of the hypothesis that this association of anomalies constitutes a distinct genetic disorder, which is inherited as an X-linked dominant trait lethal in hemizygous males.

D002806	Chondrodysplasia Punctata	A heterogeneous group of bone dysplasias, the common character of which is stippling of the epiphyses in infancy. The group includes a severe autosomal recessive form (CHONDRODYSPLASIA PUNCTATA, RHIZOMELIC), an autosomal dominant form (Conradi-Hunermann syndrome), and a milder X-linked form. Metabolic defects associated with impaired peroxisomes are present only in the rhizomelic form.

D012730	Sex Chromosomes	The homologous chromosomes that are dissimilar in the heterogametic sex. There are the X CHROMOSOME, the Y CHROMOSOME, and the W, Z chromosomes (in animals in which the female is the heterogametic sex (the silkworm moth Bombyx mori, for example)). In such cases the W chromosome is the female-determining and the male is ZZ.
