Summaries for Blount's Disease

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 52 Blount disease is a growth disorder of the shin bone (tibia ) characterized by inward turning of the lower leg (bowing) that slowly worsens over time. While it is not uncommon for young children to have bowed legs , typically the bowing improves with age. There are two types of Blount disease (early-onset and late-onset), based on whether symptoms begin before or after four years of age. Blount disease may occur in one or both legs and can lead to shortening of the affected leg and other changes within bones of the legs. The cause of Blount disease is not well understood; however, a variety of hereditary and genetic factors are likely involved. The condition is more common among certain populations and is associated with obesity and early walking. Treatment may involve bracing and/or surgery.

MalaCards based summary : Blount's Disease, also known as blount disease, is related to osteochondrosis and leptin deficiency or dysfunction. An important gene associated with Blount's Disease is PPP1R12A (Protein Phosphatase 1 Regulatory Subunit 12A), and among its related pathways/superpathways is Antipsychotics Pathway (Metabolic Side Effects), Pharmacodynamics. Affiliated tissues include tibia, bone and liver, and related phenotypes are tibial bowing and abnormality of the knee

Disease Ontology : 12 An osteochondrodysplasia that results in inward turning of lower leg, located in tibia, which fails to develop normally.

Wikipedia : 74 Blount's disease is a growth disorder of the tibia (shin bone) that causes the lower leg to angle... more...
