Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is characterized by abnormal bone and cartilage development particularly affecting epiphysis of long bones. Individuals with MED present during childhood presents with hip pain, knee pain and waddling gait. The autosomal recessive MED is differentiated from the dominant type by the presence of hands, knees and feet malformations with scoliosis. We present here, a case of autosomal recessive MED, an eleven and half years old boy who presented with pain in knees, difficulty walking, abnormal fingers and abnormal toes. The radiographs of hands, knees and pelvis were suggestive of an abnormal epiphyseal development. After diagnosis, patient was counseled and he was advised analgesics and different exercises.

The complex pleiotropic pattern of damage caused in chick embryos by the talpid3 gene has been described previously by Ede & Kelly (1964a, b) and Hinchliffe & Ede (1967). The pattern of segregation of the mesenchyme in forming the precartilaginous or membranous skeleton is abnormal, and the resulting cartilaginous skeleton shows characteristic fusions of the vertebrae and of the limb elements. By 11 days of development there is a complete failure of cartilage-replacement bone to appear, even in the more normally formed cartilage rudiments (e.g. ribs, scapula, coracoid, ilium). By contrast, ossification to give the membrane bones (the clavicle and bones of the skull and jaws), which are formed directly from condensations in the mesenchyme, proceeds normally. This paper describes the attempts made by experimental and histochemical means to account for the failure of cartilage-replacement bone formation.

ABSTRACT Chondromodulin I (ChM-I) was supposed from its limited expression in cartilage and its functions in cultured chondrocytes as a major regulator in cartilage development. Here, we generated mice deficient in ChM-I by targeted disruption of the ChM-I gene. No overt abnormality was detected in endochondral bone formation during embryogenesis and cartilage development during growth stages of ChM-I−/− mice. However, a significant increase in bone mineral density with lowered bone resorption with respect to formation was unexpectedly found in adult ChM-I−/− mice. Thus, the present study established that ChM-I is a bone remodeling factor.
