| Metachondromatosis has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. | |
Metachondromatosis is an autosomal dominant, [2] incompletely penetrant[3] skeletal disorder affecting the growth of bones, leading to multiple enchondromas and osteochondromas.[3] This tumor syndrome affects mainly tubular bones, though it can also involve the vertebrae, small joints, and flat bones.[4]
Genetics[]
Metachondromatosis is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.[3] This means that the defective gene responsible for a disorder is located on an autosome, and only one copy of the gene is sufficient to cause the disorder, when inherited from a parent who has the disorder.[citation needed]
It has been associated with PTPN11.[3]
