Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia
Definition:
Craniodiaphyseal dysplasia (CDD) is an autosomal dominant sclerotic bone disorder characterized by distinctive facial dysmorphism-prominent zygomatic bones, broadening of the center of the face, hypertelorism, a small upturned tip of the nose, prominent jaw, and open mouth. Mutations preventing the secretion of SOST have been identified as being responsible for CDD.
