Other specified osteochondrodysplasias - what does this mean
Other specified osteochondrodysplasias are a group of genetic disorders that affect the growth and development of bones and cartilage. they are caused by mutations in genes that control the formation of cartilage and bone, resulting in abnormal growth and malformation of the skeleton. this can result in short stature, skeletal deformities, and joint stiffness.
What happens during the disease - other specified osteochondrodysplasias
Other specified osteochondrodysplasias is a group of rare genetic disorders in which the cartilage and bones do not develop properly. this can lead to skeletal malformations, joint deformities, and decreased bone strength. it is caused by genetic mutations that affect the normal development and growth of cartilage and bone cells. these mutations can be inherited or acquired, and they often lead to changes in the structure and function of proteins that are necessary for normal skeletal development.
