    Multiple synostoses syndrome, previously Nievergelt-Pearlman syndrome, causes bone fusions and conductive deafness. This autosomal dominant condition likely results from a single gene defect with variable expression.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Orthopedics
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • The Nievergelt-Pearlman syndrome, now known as multiple synostoses syndrome (MSS), is a rare genetic disorder.
    • Understanding the genetic basis and phenotypic spectrum of MSS is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Presents case reports of a father and daughter with MSS.
    • Detailed clinical features include proximal symphalangism, tarsal and carpal coalitions, short first metacarpals and metatarsals, elbow fusions/dysplasias, and conductive nerve deafness.

    Findings:

    • MSS exhibits variable penetrance, suggesting complex genetic interactions or environmental factors.
    • The syndrome is likely inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, pointing to a potential single gene abnormality.

    Implications:

    • Further research into the specific gene responsible for MSS is warranted.
    • Improved understanding can lead to earlier diagnosis, genetic counseling, and potential therapeutic strategies for affected families.
