Disease or Syndrome
Vitreoretinopathy with phalangeal epiphyseal dysplasia (VPED) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, premature arthropathy, and development of phalangeal epiphyseal dysplasia, resulting in brachydactyly. Stature is normal, and high myopia, cleft palate, and midfacial hypoplasia are absent (Richards et al., 2002).
