Clinical and Genetic Insights into Desbuquois Dysplasia: Review of 111 Case Reports.

Skeletal disorders encompass a wide array of conditions, many of which are associated with short stature. Among these, Desbuquois dysplasia is a rare but severe condition characterized by profound dwarfism, distinct facial features, joint hypermobility with multiple dislocations, and unique vertebral and metaphyseal anomalies. Desbuquois dysplasia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, with both the DBQD1 (MIM 251450) and DBQD2 (MIM 615777) forms resulting from biallelic mutations. Specifically, DBQD1 is associated with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the
