Tree Number(s): C04.557.450.565.575.610.615.325; C04.700.330; C05.116.099.708.670.615.325; C05.116.540.310.500; C16.320.700.330
Unique ID: D005097
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005097
Scope Note: Hereditary disorder transmitted by an autosomal dominant gene and characterized by multiple exostoses (multiple osteochondromas) near the ends of long bones. The genetic abnormality results in a defect in the osteoclastic activity at the metaphyseal ends of the bone during the remodeling process in childhood or early adolescence. The metaphyses develop benign, bony outgrowths often capped by cartilage. A small number undergo neoplastic transformation.
