Abstract Acromesomelic dysplasia is a type of skeletal malformation affecting distal and middle segments of the extremities. It occurs in both isolated (non-syndromic) and syndromic forms. In later case, it shows association with cardiac, respiratory, neurological and genital abnormalities. Acromesomelic dysplasia segregates in autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. Mutations in three genes ( GDF5 , NPR2, BMPR1B ) have been reported to cause different forms of acromesomelic dysplasia. In the present review we have discussed clinical spectrum, genetics and signalopathies of isolated acromesomelic dysplasias.
