Dentinogenesis imperfecta-short stature-hearing loss-intellectual disability syndrome

What it is

A rare malformative syndrome with dentinogenesis imperfecta, characterized by dentin dysplasia with opalescent discoloration and severe attrition of primary and permanent teeth, and delayed eruption, bulbous crowns, long and tapered roots, and progressive root canal obliteration of the permanent dentition, associated with proportionate short stature, sensorineural hearing loss, mild intellectual disability, and dysmorphic facial features. The latter include a prominent nose with high nasal bridge and short philtrum. Osteoporosis, mild platyspondyly, and cone-shaped epiphyses have also been reported.

Malformation syndrome

Prevalence figures describe populations, not individuals, and are often estimates from a single study. Where the figure is an incidence or a birth prevalence, it says so.

Signs and symptoms

These ranges are how often a sign appears across everyone diagnosed, not a prediction for one person — most people have some of these and not others. Orphanet also records findings that are specifically absent in this disease; those are in the data but not listed here.

ICD-10 codes

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.

Reached through the ICD-10 categories this disease is filed under, so these describe the broader group rather than this disease specifically.
