Eiken syndrome

Eiken syndrome is a rare skeletal dysplasia that affects bone development. It is marked by multiple epiphyseal dysplasia and extremely retarded ossification, which means that the normal process of bone hardening is significantly slowed. It was originally observed in a unique consanguineous family, indicating a familial pattern for the condition. People with this condition experience changes in the development of their bones, especially in the hands and feet, as indicated by the description of a bone modeling defect in these areas. Information about other aspects of the disorder is currently limited.

Information about symptoms is currently limited for this condition.

Eiken syndrome appears to be a familial condition that is linked to changes in the gene known as PTH1R. The condition has been reported in a consanguineous family, suggesting that it may be inherited when closely related individuals carry the gene variation.
