MULTIPLE EPIPHYSEAL DYSPLASIAS Meaning and Definition

1. Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasias (MED) is a group of genetic skeletal disorders characterized by abnormalities in the growth and development of the epiphyses, which are the ends of long bones that contribute to bone growth and joint formation. MED encompasses a spectrum of conditions that result in abnormal cartilage and bone development in multiple epiphyseal centers.

   The hallmark feature of MED is the presence of mild to moderate short stature, which is often evident from early childhood. The affected individuals may also exhibit joint pain and stiffness, due to the disturbed formation and structure of the joints. This can lead to mobility limitations and difficulties in carrying out daily activities.

   The specific symptoms and severity of MED can vary widely, even within the same family. Other common features of MED may include abnormal development of the hips, hands, feet, and knees, with differences in size and shape compared to unaffected individuals. Some individuals with MED may also experience early-onset osteoarthritis due to the degenerative changes occurring in the joints.

   Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasias are caused by mutations in genes involved in the production and maintenance of cartilage and bone tissues. Inheritance of MED follows an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that an affected individual has a 50% chance of passing on the condition to each of their offspring.

   Medical management of Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasias consists of symptomatic treatment to address pain and discomfort. Early intervention with physical and occupational therapy may help to optimize joint function and mobility. In severe cases, surgical interventions such as joint replacement or corrective osteotomy may be considered to improve quality of life.
