Harran Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi ¹Pediatri Yardımcu Doçenti, ²Pediatri Araştırma Görevlisi, ³Pediatri Uzmanı Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by symmetrical shortening of the proximal extremities, congenital contractures, bilateral cataract, saddle nose, severe mental and growth retardation and the presence of epiyphyseal stippling. RCDP was assigned to the peroxisomal disease category after discovery of an impaired plasmalogen (ether phospholipid) synthesis.
