Fibrochondrogenesis

Definition:

Fibrochondrogenesis is a very rare, neonatally lethal, short-limb skeletal dysplasia. It is an autosomal recessive disorder shown to result from mutations in the COL11A1 type XI collagen gene. Recently, It has been demonstrated that fibrochondrogenesis can result from either recessively or dominantly inherited mutations in COL11A2.
