Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen disease

Definition

Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen disease (DMC) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the association of spondylo-epimetaphyseal dysplasia and mental retardation. The patients have a shortened trunk, striking barrel-shaped thorax, rhizomelic limb shortening, and distal deformities. A clinical entity similar to DMC but without mental retardation is called Smith McCort dysplasia. [DS:H02497]
