Abstract:
The camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome (CACP) is characterized by congenital or early-onset camptodactyly, childhood-onset noninflammatory arthropathy associated with synovial hyperplasia. Some patients have pro-gressive coxa vara deformity and/or noninflammatory pericardial effusion. CACP is inherited as an autosomal recessive mode and the disease gene is assigned to a 1.9-cM interval on human chromosome 1q25-31. We describe a 10-yr-old boy who has typical features of CACP without familial association.
