Early recognitionand appropriate genetic counselling is essential in order to avoid unnecessary treatment and further recurrence.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Progressive pseudorheumatoid condrodysplasia (PPRC) is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by joint swelling, stiffness,generalized progressive joint contractures and progressive arthropathy with the negative laboratory markers of juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
📊
Key Findings & Data:It is causedby mutations of the Wnt1-inducible signalling pathway protein 3 (WISP3) gene located on chromosome 6q22, encoding a cysteine-rich connectivetissue growth factor, which preserves cartilage integrity in chondrocytes.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Early recognitionand appropriate genetic counselling is essential in order to avoid unnecessary treatment and further recurrence.
🔬Design:Research Article

Özet

Progressive pseudorheumatoid condrodysplasia (PPRC) is a rare autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia characterized by joint swelling, stiffness,generalized progressive joint contractures and progressive arthropathy with the negative laboratory markers of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is causedby mutations of the Wnt1-inducible signalling pathway protein 3 (WISP3) gene located on chromosome 6q22, encoding a cysteine-rich connectivetissue growth factor, which preserves cartilage integrity in chondrocytes. Here, we describe two new patients from same consanguineous family.The diagnosis was made by clinical and radiologic findings, molecular analysis of the WISP3 gene revealed a c.793-794 delTG (p.C265Lfs*31) mutation.Although life expectancy is normal, the prognosis of PPRC can be very poor, most patients are wheelchair-bound from an early age. Early recognitionand appropriate genetic counselling is essential in order to avoid unnecessary treatment and further recurrence.
