Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Genetics
  • Pediatric Health

Background:

  • Perthes disease affects hip joint development, with a known incidence of 1 in 4,750 live births.
  • A genetic predisposition is suggested, but typically fewer than three family members are affected.

Observation:

  • This is the first documented instance of Perthes disease occurring in three female first-degree relatives.
  • The affected individuals were all from the same immediate family.

Findings:

  • The case presents a unique familial aggregation of Perthes disease.
  • This challenges the typical understanding of its inheritance pattern.

Implications:

  • Further research into the genetic factors of Perthes disease is warranted.
