What are the signs and symptoms of Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia? The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. You can use the MedlinePlus Medical Dictionary to look up the definitions for these medical terms. Signs and Symptoms Approximate number of patients (when available) Abnormal cortical bone morphology 90% Abnormality of epiphysis morphology 90% Abnormality of the metaphyses 90% Abnormality of the ulna 90% Abnormality of the wrist 90% Anteverted nares 90% Aplasia/Hypoplasia of the sacrum 90% Brachydactyly syndrome 90% Delayed skeletal maturation 90% Limitation of joint mobility 90% Myopia 90% Osteoarthritis 90% Rough bone trabeculation 90% Round face 90% Sensorineural hearing impairment 90% Short palm 90% Tarsal synostosis 90% Abnormal form of the vertebral bodies 50% Abnormality of the femur 50% Abnormality of the hip bone 50% Arthralgia 50% Cleft palate 50% Clinodactyly of the 5th finger 50% Gait disturbance 50% Malar flattening 50% Micromelia 50% Patellar aplasia 50% Scoliosis 50% Short stature 50% Talipes 50% Anonychia 7.5% Genu valgum 7.5% Genu varum 7.5% Hearing abnormality 7.5% Abnormality of the hip joint - Arthralgia of the hip - Autosomal dominant inheritance - Autosomal recessive inheritance - Avascular necrosis of the capital femoral epiphysis - Broad femoral neck - Coxa vara - Delayed epiphyseal ossification - Delayed ossification of carpal bones - Delayed tarsal ossification - Disproportionate short-limb short stature - Elevated serum creatine phosphokinase - Epiphyseal dysplasia - Flat capital femoral epiphysis - Flattened epiphysis - Generalized joint laxity - Hip dysplasia - Hip osteoarthritis - Hypoplasia of the capital femoral epiphysis - Hypoplasia of the femoral head - Irregular epiphyses - Irregular vertebral endplates - Joint stiffness - Knee osteoarthritis - Limited elbow flexion - Limited hip movement - Metaphyseal irregularity - Mild short stature - Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia - Ovoid vertebral bodies - Premature osteoarthritis - Proximal muscle weakness - Short femoral neck - Short metacarpal - Short phalanx of finger - Small epiphyses - Talipes equinovarus - Waddling gait - The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) has collected information on how often a sign or symptom occurs in a condition. Much of this information comes from Orphanet, a European rare disease database. The frequency of a sign or symptom is usually listed as a rough estimate of the percentage of patients who have that feature. The frequency may also be listed as a fraction. The first number of the fraction is how many people had the symptom, and the second number is the total number of people who were examined in one study. For example, a frequency of 25/25 means that in a study of 25 people all patients were found to have that symptom. Because these frequencies are based on a specific study, the fractions may be different if another group of patients are examined. Sometimes, no information on frequency is available. In these cases, the sign or symptom may be rare or common.
