Pyle Disease
Pyle disease, also known as metaphyseal dysplasia, is a rare genetic disorder characterised by abnormal bone development, primarily affecting the long bones. Symptoms often include widening of the metaphyses, mild deformities, and increased bone fragility. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and diagnosis is confirmed via radiographic imaging and genetic testing.
