Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia can be confused with juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Treatment is mainly symptomatic and the prescription of immunosupressive agents is unnecessary. Surgery may be indicated at advanced stages of the disease.

Abstract
Wisp3 gene mutation was shown to cause spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with progressive arthropathy (SRDT-PA), but the underlying mechanism is not clear. To clarify this mechanism, we constructed the wild and mutated Wisp3 expression vectors and transfected into human chondrocytes lines C-20/A4; Wisp3 proteins subcellular localization, cell proliferation, cell apoptosis, and Wisp3-mediated gene expression were determined, and dynamic secretion of collagen in transfected chondrocytes was analyzed by (14)C-proline incorporation experiment. Mutated Wisp3 protein increased proliferation activity, decreased apoptosis of C-20/A4 cells, and aggregated abnormally in cytoplasm. Expression of collagen II was also downregulated in C-20/A4 cells transfected with mutated Wisp3. Wild type Wisp3 transfection increased intracellular collagen content and extracellular collagen secretion, but the mutated Wisp3 lost this function, and the peak phase of collagen secretion was delayed in mutated Wisp3 transfected cells. Thus abnormal protein distribution, cell proliferation, collagen synthesis, and secretion in Wisp3 mutated chondrocytes might contribute to the pathogenesis of SEDT-PA.

Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) is characterized by continuous degeneration and loss of articular cartilage, which has been attributed to mutations in the gene encoding WISP3. We collected a PPD family and analyzed their WISP3 genes mutation. Articular chondrocytes (ACs) were purified from the femurs of a PPD patient after hip replacement surgery. Cell growth, proliferation, and viability were examined. Gene expression profiling and analyses of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-1, -3, and -13 proteins were carried out using cDNA differential microarrays, real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, and Western blot analysis. We found that two probands carried a deletion (840delT) mutation in maternal allele, which leads to truncated WISP3 protein missing 43 residues in C terminus; and a 1000T>C substitution in paternal allele, which was also passed on to four other members in the PPD kindred. PPD ACs were heterogeneous in size with an enhanced rate of cell proliferation and viability compared with the normal ACs. MMP-1, -3, and -13 mRNA expressions were dereased in PPD ACs. MMP-1, -3, and -13 protein levels, however, were increased in cell lysates from PPD ACs, but markedly decreased in the supernatants from cultured ACs. WISP3 mRNA expression in PPD ACs was also decreased. Our results show, for the first time, a compound heterozygous mutation of WISP3 and a series of cellular and molecular changes disturbing the endochondral ossification in this PPD patient.

Abstract
The aim of this case report is to describe unusual cases of progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) affecting the axial skeleton and peripheral joints and to stress the importance of examining the entire skeleton for definite diagnosis and the importance of rehabilitation interventions. PPD is a rare familial disease characterized by generalized bone-cartilage dysplasia, progressive arthropathy, and platyspondyly. PPD presents as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia (SED) tarda with progressive arthropathy and progressive pseudorheumatoid arthritis of childhood and is described as a specific autosomal recessive subtype of SED. Two sisters, 18 and 16 years old, with low back pain and polyarthritis are presented. Radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging of the cases revealed typical features characteristic for PPD-like platyspondyly, multiple intravertebral herniations, changes in metaphyses and epiphysis, and mega os trigonum. Consequently, PPD is a rare disease of childhood and should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis to prevent delayed diagnosis and to begin rehabilitation interventions early. It is essential to carefully examine the entire body, particularly the axial skeleton, and to perform radiological evaluation of the spine. These illustrative cases serve to remind physicians to examine the entire skeleton and not to concentrate only on "branches" but also on the "trunk."

Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by the presence of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia associated with pain, stiffness, and swelling of multiple joints, osteoporosis, and the absence of destructive bone changes. The disorder is caused by mutations of the WISP3 gene located on chromosome 6q22. We hereby report the molecular study of the WISP3 gene in nine unrelated consanguineous families originating from the Middle-East: three from Lebanon, five from Syria, and one from Palestinian Bedouin descent, all affected with PPD. Five different sequence variations were identified in the WISP3 gene, two of them being new mutations: the c.589G --> C transversion at codon 197, responsible for a splicing defect (A197fsX201); and the c.536_537delGT deletion (C179fsX), both in exon 3. In all other families, the affected patients were homozygous for a previously described nonsense mutation, namely c.156C --> A (C52X). Interestingly, in the latter families, the C52X mutation was always found associated with a novel c.248G --> A (G83E) variation, suggesting the existence of a founder effect.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To present four related patients with progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPsRD) each with distinctive history, unique phenotype and some peculiar radiographic findings. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The history was characterised by weather-dependent articular pain. The unique phenotypic features were hypoplasia/dysplasia of one or two toes. Peculiar radiographic findings were hypoplasia of the 3rd and 4th metatarsals, platyspondyly with rectangular shape of the lumbar spinal canal, progressive narrowing of the joint spaces and early synovial chondromatosis. Finally, the condition was inherited as a dominant trait. This constellation of abnormalities constitutes a distinct form of PPsRD. PPsRD must be differentiated from other bone dysplasias, specifically spondyloepiphyseal dysplasias, autosomal dominant spondylarthropathy, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteochondrodysplasias are a heterogeneous group of genetic skeletal dysplasias. Patients with these diseases commonly develop an early degenerative arthritis or osteoarthritis. Occasional observations of inflammatory arthritis have been made in this population but such observations are based on clinical grounds alone without confirmatory imaging studies. Four patients followed up in a paediatric rheumatology clinic with three different skeletal dysplasias, who had both clinical and radiological evidence of an inflammatory arthritis and coexistent degenerative arthritis, are described.

Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid arthropathy of childhood (PPAC) described by Spranger et al is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. An 11 year-old girl was diagnosed as having PPAC at Ege University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Paediatrics. Her complaints of painful joints, difficulty in walking and joint contractures began at the age of 3 years and she was treated for juvenile rheumatoid arthritis for 8 years. Her symptoms did not respond to nonsteroid anti-inflammatory treatment. During her last hospitalisation period, she was reinvestigated. Radiological examination showed spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, severe acetabular irregularity and osteoporosis. All the laboratory test results for rheumatoid arthritis were negative. The clinical and radiological findings of the patient are illustrated.

Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia is a skeletal genetic disorder affecting primarily the articular cartilage, causing joint stiffness and leading to a crippling status. More than two-thirds of the reported patients belong to Arab and Mediterranean populations. The disease locus has been mapped to chromosome 6q22 in a region of 12.9 cM using a Jordanian family. We examined two additional families, one Jordanian and one Palestinian, to test for homogeneity of the disorder and the presence of a common haplotype, to fine map the disorder, and to use all the information to derive a tool for heterozygote identification. The two families showed linkage to the same previously reported locus, thus suggesting homogeneity, but they did not share a common haplotype. They also provided information that refined the genetic region for the disease locus to 2.1 cM with three microsatellite markers. The absence of a common haplotype indicates that no common ancestor mutations were inherited by our patients. Genotyping for the three-marker haplotype showed that it can be used as a heterozygote identification tool.

Abstract
We characterize the clinical and radiographic evolution of X-linked recessive spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) in a 6-generation kindred from Arkansas (SEDT(AK)). Our observations show the natural progression of SEDT(AK) and enable carrier detection by radiographic study. We find that, SEDT(AK) manifests as a postnatal defect. Affected hemizygous males can have radiographically normal vertebrae at birth. The pathogenesis seems to involve a developmental disturbance in endochondral bone formation that is reflected most dramatically in vertebrae by a radiographically inapparent ring apophysis. This defect leads to distinctive malformation of the anterior margins of the lumbar vertebrae during childhood. Subsequently, there is degeneration of intervertebral discs and destruction of spinal facet joints. In the femur, the head, neck, and distal condyles are abnormally shaped and become distorted so that osteoarthritis of the hip is not uncommon. Obligate carrier females heterozygous for the SEDT(AK) gene defect demonstrate several similar but more subtle skeletal abnormalities beginning in early adult life. These women seem to be troubled frequently by arthralgia by middle age. The cumulative findings in SEDT(AK) implicate a defect in a gene at Xp22.2-22.1 that engenders a relatively mild disturbance in endochondral bone formation, especially in the axial skeleton. Accounts of large, well-characterized SEDT kindreds remain essential to appreciate fully any interfamily variability of disease expression and to understand better the pathogenesis of the SEDT defect on the X chromosome.

Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia is an inherited skeletal dysplasia with radiographic changes notably in the spine, similar to spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda. There is also articular cartilage involvement which gives it some clinical resemblance to rheumatoid arthritis. We report here on six subjects from one inbred family from Jordan. Based on previously published reports and this one, we review the clinical and radiological features and discuss the genetics and differential diagnosis of the disorder. We suggest the addition of the word "spondyloepiphyseal" to the name adopted by the International Working Group on Constitutional Diseases of Bone, to become "progressive pseudorheumatoid spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia". We also speculate on candidate genes for this disorder.

Abstract
The association of a spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SED-T) with the nephrotic syndrome (NS) was found in three siblings. They have counsaguineous (first cousins) healthy parents. Patient 1 was a boy who was admitted to hospital for oedema at the age of 8 years; NS was diagnosed, renal biopsy revealed mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis. After 4 years he developed end-stage renal failure and died whilst on haemodialysis. Combined therapy with cyclophosphamide and prednisone was of no benefit. At the age of 11 years his height was 122 cm (< 3rd percentile -3.2 SD); he had a short neck, broad and prominent chest and a short wide trunk. Patient 2, another male, had non-nephrotic proteinuria in a 24-h urinary sample at the age of 11 years; this was confirmed in a later analysis; mild lymphopenia and a reduction of helper T cell (OKT4)/suppressor T cell (OKT8) ratio was also detected. At 22 years of age he was admitted to hospital with end-stage renal failure. He was on haemodialysis for a few months until his mother donated a kidney. At the age of 22 years his height was 157 cm (< 3rd percentile), he had a short trunk with the thoracic cage increased in anteroposterior diameter and shoulder elevation. Roentgenograms revealed a disostosis of the spinal column and pelvis and a slight lombar platyspondylia. Patient 3, a girl, was admitted to hospital at 12.5 years for pain and restricted mobility of the right hip. X-rays showed deep acetabula and short femoral necks and mild dysplastic changes, especially in the right hip.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Nine cases of progressive pseudorheumatoid chondrodysplasia in subjects aged 7-60 years are reported. Six of them were members of one large family with several consanguineous marriages. Evaluation of six generations of this family suggested an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. The presentation of the disease was between the ages of 3 and 8 years with waddling gait and fusiform swelling of the interphalangeal joints of the hands, clinically resembling juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Most of the other joints become progressively involved, with crippling disability. One of the patients had typical features of Blount disease at presentation.

Abstract
Kuwait has a cosmopolitan population of 1.7 million, mostly Arabs. This population is a mosaic of large and small minorities representing most Arab communities. In general, Kuwait's population is characterized by a rapid rate of growth, large family size, high rates of consanguineous marriages within the Arab communities with low frequency of intermarriage between them, and the presence of genetic isolates and semi-isolates in some extended families and Bedouin tribes. Genetic services have been available in Kuwait for over a decade. During this time it has become clear that Arabs have a high frequency of genetic disorders, and in particular autosomal recessive traits. Their pattern is unique and some disorders are relatively common. Examples are Bardet-Biedl and Meckel syndromes, phenylketonuria, and familial Mediterranean fever. A relatively large number of new syndromes and variants have been delineated in Kuwait's population, many being the result of homozygosity for autosomal recessive genes that occurred because of inbreeding. Some of these syndromes have subsequently been found in other parts of the world, negating the concept of the private syndrome. This paper provides an overview of autosomal recessive disorders among the Arabs in Kuwait from a personal perspective and published studies, and highlights the need for genetic services in Arab countries with the goal of prevention and treatment of genetic disorders.

Abstract
Two brothers and a sister presented with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and progressive arthropathy. Stiffness and restricted mobility of several large joints had been present since childhood. Their adult height was normal, and skeletal radiography showed mild platyspondyly, abnormal epiphyses and severe osteoarthrosis with extensive synovial osteochondromatosis. This autosomal recessive type of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda must be distinguished from other forms of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, rheumatoid arthritis in childhood and osteoarthrosis in adults.

Abstract
Four patients from a Muslim family with an inherited skeletal dysplasia are presented. It is more crippling than usual form of spondylo-epiphysial dysplasia tarda and the onset is very early in the life i.e. at 4 years. The disorder is progressive, crippling and has striking clinical resemblance to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. The striking X-ray appearance is of platyspondyly and irregularities of capital femoral epiphysis. There is absence of any synovitis. Two of these patients are females aged 8 years and 18 years. The third patient is their cousin brother aged 6 years and their uncle who is of 50 years old and crippled.

Abstract
A girl with short stature is described in whom chromosomal analysis revealed a 45,X/46,XX mosaicism and in whom radiological investigations disclosed the diagnosis of X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda. This is the first report of the occurrence of X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda in a child with Turner syndrome.

Abstract
We present a clinical and radiographic study of a family with the autosomal dominant form of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda, in some patients associated with hearing deficiency. Although no causal treatment is possible, correct diagnosis is important to avoid unnecessary treatment and for information about prognosis, genetic counseling, and recommendation of future occupation.

Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid arthritis of childhood is an uncommon arthropathy of unknown aetiology, which is related to spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda. Previous reports have noted the absence of joint inflammation in this disease. An adult is described here with this arthropathy, who developed episodic acute inflammatory arthritis that mimicked septic arthritis, but proved to be pseudogout. The relation between pseudogout and progressive pseudorheumatoid arthritis of childhood is discussed.
