Thoracic-pelvic dysostosis: a 'new' autosomal dominant form.

A Bankier, D M Danks
PMCID: PMC1049119  PMID: 6620328

Abstract

A form of thoracic and pelvic dysostosis is reported in a mother and her son. The short ribs caused respiratory distress in the baby and raised the possibility of asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD). The radiological features, however, distinguish this benign condition from ATD and other described skeletal dysplasias.
