Mutations of the PTHLH gene can cause a variety of different skeletal dysplasias, with duplications of the PTHLH gene resulting in a phenotype characterized by endochrondomatosis, metaphyseal dysplasia and osteolysis.Presenting problem: Our patient presented at the age of 4 months, given concerns regarding lower limb deformit...
