Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia

Definition:

Gnathodiaphyseal dysplasia is a rare skeletal syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance. It is characterized by cemento-osseous lesions of the jawbone, bone fragility, and sclerosis of tubular bones. Missense mutations of GDD1, which shows homology to TMEM16E, were identified.
