Short-rib thoracic dysplasia

Definition:

Short-rib thoracic dysplasia (SRTD) is a group of autosomal recessive skeletal ciliopathies. The ciliary machinery has been implicated in more than a dozen disorders, now called ciliopathies. Primary cilia play a vital role in transduction of signals in the hedgehog pathway that is especially important in skeletal development.
