“…Microcephalic osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II (MOPDII; OMIM #210720), first described by Majewski, Ranke, and Schinzel (), is the most common distinctive diagnostic entity within the group of microcephalic primordial dwarfism syndromes (Hall, Flora, Scott, Pauli, & Tanaka, ; Klingseisen & Jackson, ; Rauch, ). Aside from the classic features of severe pre‐ and post‐natal growth failure together with microcephaly, individuals with MOPDII have a characteristic skeletal dysplasia (Hall et al, ; Willems et al, ) with a specific hip pathology (Karatas et al, ), abnormal dentition (Kantaputra et al, ), an increased risk for cerebrovascular disease (Bober et al, ; Brancati, Castori, Mingarelli, & Dallapiccola, ; Waldron et al, ), and insulin resistance (Huang‐Doran et al, ). MOPDII has autosomal recessive inheritance and is caused by mutations in the pericentrin ( PCNT ) gene (Rauch et al, ).…”
