Abstract:
We report an eight-year-old girl with a novel homozygous TRPV4 gene pathogenic variant c.2355G>T p. (Trp785Cys) with mesomelic shortening, odontoid hypoplasia, multiple joint contractures, thoracolumbar kyphosis, pectus carinatum, halberd pelvis, and dumb-bell shaped long bones. The novel variant caused a severe recessive form of metatropic dysplasia.

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
