TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS 
• Congenital absence of a, usually single, 
bone: phalanx, rib, clavicle 
• Supernumerary digit (polydactyly) 
• Syndactyly

2) DISEASES CAUSED BY 
DEFECTS IN HORMONES AND 
SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION 
MECHANISMS 
• Achondroplasia, dwarf (non-lethal) 
• Thanatophoria, dwarf (lethal) 
• a point mutation (usually Arg for Gly375) in the gene 
that codes for FGF receptor 3 (FGFR3), which is located 
on the short arm of chromosome 4. In the normal 
growth plate, activation of FGFR3 inhibits cartilage 
proliferation; 
• A MUTATION causes FGFR3 to be constantly activated.

DEFECTS IN EXTRACELLULAR 
STRUCTURAL PROTEINS 
• OSTEOGENESS IMPERFECTA TYPES

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS 
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a 
chronic systemic inflammatory 
disorder that may affect many 
tissues and organs—skin, blood 
vessels, heart, lungs, and muscles— 
but principally attacks the joints, 
producing a nonsuppurative 
proliferative and inflammatory 
synovitis that often progresses to 
destruction of the articular cartilage 
and ankylosis of the joints.
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS 
• Etiology/Risk Factors: Autoimmune 
• Pathogenesis: Progressive SYNOVITIS 
• Morphology: Synovial lymphocytes, 
macrophages, plasma cells, neutrophils, 
osteoclasts, “pannus”, hyperemia, 
rheumatoid “nodules”, vasculitis 
• Clinical Expression: PAIN, Limitation of 
motion, malaise, fatigue, rheumatoid 
factor IgM-IgGFc,
HANDSWRISTELBOWS

fibroblasts

(TOPHI) 
–ACUTE 
–CHRONIC 
• 10% of population has 
hyperuricemia (>7 mg/dl), but only 
1/20 of these has gout
Classification of Gout 
Clinical Category Metabolic Defect 
Primary Gout (90% of cases) 
Enzyme defects unknown (85%–90% 
of primary gout) 
■ Overproduction of uric acid 
Normal excretion (majority) 
Increased excretion (minority) 
Underexcretion of uric acid with 
normal production 
Known enzyme defects—e.g., partial 
HGPRT deficiency (rare) 
■ Overproduction of uric acid 
Secondary Gout (10% of cases) 
Associated with increased nucleic 
acid turnover—e.g., leukemias 
■ Overproduction of uric acid with 
increased urinary excretion 
Chronic renal disease ■ Reduced excretion of uric acid with 
normal production 
Inborn errors of metabolism—e.g., 
complete HGPRT deficiency (Lesch- 
Nyhan syndrome) 
■ Overproduction of uric acid with 
increased urinary excretion 
HGPRT, hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase.
HYPERURICEMIA GOUT 
• Age of the individual and duration of the 
hyperuricemia are factors. Gout rarely appears before 
20 to 30 years of hyperuricemia. 
• Genetic predisposition is another factor. In 
addition to the well-defined X-linked abnormalities of 
HGPRT, primary gout follows multifactorial 
inheritance and runs in families. 
• Heavy alcohol consumption predisposes to attacks 
of gouty arthritis. 
• Obesity increases the risk of asymptomatic gout. 
• Certain drugs (e.g., thiazides) predispose to the 
development of gout. 
• Lead toxicity increases the tendency to develop 
saturnine gout

    RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Rheumatoidarthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs—skin, blood vessels, heart, lungs, and muscles— but principally attacks the joints, producing a nonsuppurative proliferative and inflammatory synovitis that often progresses to destruction of the articular cartilage and ankylosis of the joints.

    Classification of Gout Clinical Category Metabolic Defect Primary Gout (90% of cases) Enzyme defects unknown (85%–90% of primary gout) ■ Overproduction of uric acid Normal excretion (majority) Increased excretion (minority) Underexcretion of uric acid with normal production Known enzyme defects—e.g., partial HGPRT deficiency (rare) ■ Overproduction of uric acid Secondary Gout (10% of cases) Associated with increased nucleic acid turnover—e.g., leukemias ■ Overproduction of uric acid with increased urinary excretion Chronic renal disease ■ Reduced excretion of uric acid with normal production Inborn errors of metabolism—e.g., complete HGPRT deficiency (Lesch- Nyhan syndrome) ■ Overproduction of uric acid with increased urinary excretion HGPRT, hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase.
  • 101.
    HYPERURICEMIA GOUT •Age of the individual and duration of the hyperuricemia are factors. Gout rarely appears before 20 to 30 years of hyperuricemia. • Genetic predisposition is another factor. In addition to the well-defined X-linked abnormalities of HGPRT, primary gout follows multifactorial inheritance and runs in families. • Heavy alcohol consumption predisposes to attacks of gouty arthritis. • Obesity increases the risk of asymptomatic gout. • Certain drugs (e.g., thiazides) predispose to the development of gout. • Lead toxicity increases the tendency to develop saturnine gout

  • #113 These diseases are related, but PVN appears as shaggy or “villous” projections of synovium, and GCT is a solid tumor. BOTH are regarded as BENIGN proliferations of synovium and reactive cells.
