Clinical Characteristics of Type II Collagen Disorders</h2><div id="collagen-2.Clinical_Description"><h3>Clinical Description</h3><p>Type II collagen is an essential component of the cartilage extracellular matrix, and of major importance in endochondral bone formation, growth, and normal joint function. It is also necessary for normal development and function of the eye and the inner ear. Type II collagen disorders encompass a diverse group of clinical phenotypes characterized by skeletal dysplasia, ocular manifestations (e.g., cataract, myopia, subluxation of the lens, vitreous abnormalities, retinal detachment), hearing impairment, and orofacial features [<a class="bibr" href="#collagen-2.REF.nishimura.2005.36" rid="collagen-2.REF.nishimura.2005.36">Nishimura et al 2005</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#collagen-2.REF.kannu.2012.e38" rid="collagen-2.REF.kannu.2012.e38">Kannu et al 2012</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#collagen-2.REF.spranger.a" rid="collagen-2.REF.spranger.a">Spranger et al 2012a</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#collagen-2.REF.terhal.2015.461" rid="collagen-2.REF.terhal.2015.461">Terhal et al 2015</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#collagen-2.REF.savarirayan.2019.2070" rid="collagen-2.REF.savarirayan.2019.2070">Savarirayan et al 2019</a>].</p><p>The spectrum of severity ranges from severe perinatal-lethal disorders to milder conditions presenting in adulthood with premature arthrosis as the primary feature.

Achondrogenesis, <i>COL2A1-</i>related, usually presents in the prenatal setting with short stature, extremely short limbs (micromelia), narrow chest with pulmonary hypoplasia, extraskeletal features (e.g., flat midface, Pierre Robin sequence [PRS]), and edema/hydropic appearance. Radiographic findings include poor ossification of the axial skeleton, absent or delayed ossification of the vertebral bodies, absent ossification of the sacrum, and absent or severely delayed ossification of pubic and ischial bones. Iliac bones are small with crescent-shaped inner and inferior margins. The distal femora and proximal tibiae show delayed ossification, and the ribs and tubular bones are short.

Vertebral bodies are small and ovoid, and unossified in the cervical region. The pubic bones are unossified and the ilia are hypoplastic.
