Description
Brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome, also known as Verloes-Bourguignon syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the skeletal system and teeth.
Skeletal Dysplasia
This condition is characterized by skeletal dysplasia, which includes:
- Mild platyspondyly (abnormally small dimension of the vertebrae)
- Broad ilia (wide pelvis bones)
- Elongated femoral necks with coxa valga (a deformity of the hip joint)
- Scoliosis (a curvature of the spine)
These skeletal abnormalities can lead to short-trunked short stature and may cause mobility issues.
Enamel Abnormalities
In addition to skeletal dysplasia, brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome is also associated with enamel abnormalities in the teeth. This can result in:
- Discolored or defective teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Other dental problems
Age of Onset and Inheritance
This condition typically affects individuals from childhood onwards. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the syndrome.
Prevalence and Diagnosis
The prevalence of brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome is unknown, as it is a rare condition. Diagnosis is typically made through a combination of clinical evaluation, radiographic imaging, and genetic testing.

Signs and Symptoms
Brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development of bones, teeth, and other tissues. The signs and symptoms of this condition can vary from person to person, but here are some common manifestations:
- Short stature: Individuals with brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome often have short-trunked short stature [8].
- Skeletal dysplasia: This condition is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, including platyspondyly (flattened vertebrae), short trunk, scoliosis, broad ilia, and elongated femoral necks with coxa valga [4].
- Dental anomalies: Brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome is associated with dental anomalies, such as hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta (small, discolored, pitted teeth) [9][10].
- Corneal clouding: Some individuals may experience corneal clouding, a condition where the clear layer on the surface of the eye becomes cloudy or opaque [6].
It's essential to note that not all individuals with brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome will exhibit all of these symptoms. The severity and presentation of the condition can vary significantly from person to person.

Diagnostic Tests
Brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome can be diagnosed through a combination of clinical and radiological findings, as well as molecular genetic testing.
Clinical Diagnosis
The diagnosis of brachyolmia is primarily based on clinical and radiological findings. A healthcare professional will typically examine the individual for signs of the condition, such as short stature, broad ilia, elongated femoral necks with coxa valga, scoliosis, and short limbs [1]. These physical characteristics can help confirm a diagnosis of brachyolmia.
Molecular Genetic Testing
In addition to clinical examination, molecular genetic testing can be used to confirm the diagnosis of brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome. This type of testing involves analyzing the individual's DNA for mutations in the LTBP3 gene [2]. The test can also identify deletions or duplications in the gene that may contribute to the condition.
Genetic Testing Options
Several genetic testing options are available for diagnosing brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome. These include:
- Clinical Molecular Genetics tests, which analyze the individual's DNA for mutations in the LTBP3 gene [3].
- Deletion/duplication analysis, Next-Generation (NGS)/Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) tests, which can identify deletions or duplications in the LTBP3 gene [4].
- Clinical Genetic Tests offered by PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences, which test for conditions including brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome and involve analyzing genes such as LTBP3 [5].
Other Diagnostic Criteria
In some cases, serum Bone Alkaline Phosphatase and Growth Hormone Levels may be used as diagnostic criteria for children with amelogenesis imperfecta [6]. However, these tests are not specific to brachyolmia-amelogenesis imperfecta syndrome and should be used in conjunction with other diagnostic methods.
