Kenny-Caffey syndrome

Kenny-Caffey syndrome (KCS) is a rare hereditary bone dysplasia characterized by osteosclerosis with medullary stenosis of long bones with hypocalcemia and ocular abnormalities. Recurrent bacterial infections are common in patients with KCS. KCS is mostly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Recently, mutations in the FAM111A gene has been identified. Autosomal recessive cases have mutations in TBCE gene that encodes chaperone proteins of tubulins.
