X-Linked Otopalatodigital Spectrum Disorders: Radiographic Features

PhenotypeSkullSpineThoraxLong BonesHands/FeetPelvis
OPD1
(male phenotype)
Sclerosis of skull base; thickened calvarium; underdeveloped frontal sinuses; mastoids under-pneumatizedFailure of fusion of posterior vertebral arches (especially cervical)Mild bowing; dislocation of radial headsThumb w/short, broad metacarpal; distal phalangeal hypoplasia; accessory proximal ossification center of 2nd metacarpal; accessory carpal bones; fusion of carpal & tarsal bonesContracted; no iliac flaring
OPD2
(male phenotype)
Same as OPD1; large fontanellesSame as OPD1; segmentation anomaliesHypoplastic; thin ribsBowed; splayed metaphyses; absent fibulaeBroad, poorly modeled phalanges, metacarpals & metatarsals; ± duplicated terminal phalangesSame as OPD1
FMD1
(male phenotype)
Same as OPD1; occasionally, craniosynostosisFusion of C2-3-4; deficiency of posterior vertebral arches± coat-hanger shape ribsMild bowing; undertubulationCarpal & tarsal fusions; later erosion of carpal bones; elongation, poor modeling of phalanges, metacarpals & metatarsals; distal phalangeal hypoplasia (thumbs & great toes)
MNS
(female phenotype)
Same as OPD1↑ vertebral body height, especially lumbar; scoliosisHypoplasia; ribs irregular; wavy clavicle w/expansion of proximal endBowed, sometimes ribbon-like; cortical irregularityElongation & undermodeling of phalanges, metacarpals & metatarsalsSupra-acetabular constriction; iliac flaring
TODPD
(female phenotype)
NormalScoliosisNo abnormalities consistently describedIrregular ossification; cystic lesions near epiphyses; bowed; radial head dislocationHypoplasia, shortening, irregular ossification &/or fusions of carpals & metacarpals; irregular corticesNarrow ilia; coxa vara

FMD1 = frontometaphyseal dysplasia type 1; MNS = Melnick-Needles syndrome; OPD1 = otopalatodigital syndrome type 1; OPD2 = otopalatodigital syndrome type 2; TODPD = terminal osseous dysplasia with pigmentary skin defects
