Mandibuloakral displazi / mandibuloacral dysplasia
Mandibuloakral dysplasia is a rare genetic disease, and is characterized by developmental abnormalities, especially affecting the jaw bone (mandibula). This situation leads to findings such as numbness and thinning on the skin. The disease usually shows autozomal resessive inheritance and is caused by mutations in LMNA or ZMPSTE24 genes. Clinically, growth retardation, decrease in bone density and systemic effects such as lipodistrophy (oil tissue loss).
