Wave-shaped ribs were detected at prenatal ultrasound in a 20(+1) week female fetus. At birth, skeletal radiographs showed marked hypomineralization and suggested hypophosphatasia. However, elevated blood calcium and alkaline phosphatase excluded hypophosphatasia and raised the possibility of Jansen metaphyseal dysplasia. Molecular analysis of the PTH/PTHrP receptor gene (PTH1R) showed heterozygosity for a previously undescribed transversion variant (c.1373T>A), which predicts p.Ile458Lys. In vitro evaluation of wild type and mutant PTH/PTHrP receptors supported the pathogenic role of the p.Ile458Lys substitution, and confirmed the diagnosis of Jansen metaphyseal dysplasia. This disorder may present prenatally with wavy ribs and in the newborn with hypomineralization, and may therefore be confused with hypophosphatasia. The mottled metaphyseal lesions typically associated with this disease appear only in childhood.

Ocular findings in Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia.

Metabolic Diseases Branch, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, United States.
Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC) is an ultra-rare disorder caused by germline heterozygous variants resulting in constitutive activation of parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor. A description of ocular manifestations of the disease is lacking. Six patients with JMC underwent a detailed ophthalmic evaluation, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), visual field testing, and craniofacial CT scans.

Background: Mutations in PTH1R are associated with Jansen-type metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC), Blomstrand osteochondrodysplasia (BOCD), Eiken syndrome, enchondroma, and primary failure of tooth eruption (PFE). Inheritance of the PTH1R gene can be either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive, indicating the complexity of the gene. Our objective was to identify the phenotypic differences in members of a family with a novel PTH1R mutation.

- Activating mutations in the PTH/PTHrP receptor lead to Jansen's metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC), characterized by growth plate issues, short stature, and high calcium levels not dependent on PTH.
- Transgenic mouse models previously created for JMC did not accurately represent the disease, prompting the development of "humanized" mice that express the human mutation through the appropriate mouse promoter in all target tissues.
- These new JMC mice exhibited significant growth plate abnormalities, reduced serum PTH and P1NP levels, and may serve as a better model for studying JMC and exploring treatment possibilities.
