“…In the paleopathological record, achondroplasia has been relatively well-documented in a range of archaeological skeletons [ 15 – 20 ]. Achondroplastic individuals are characterized by a rhizomelic disproportionately short stature, an enlarged head, an undersized skull base, midface hypoplasia, a depressed nasal bridge, short hands and lumbar lordosis [ 1 , 14 , 21 – 22 ]. Hypochondroplasia, meanwhile, is a milder form of short-limb dwarfism.…”

Skeletal dysplasias related to genetic etiologies have rarely been reported for past populations. This report presents the skeletal characteristics of an individual with dwarfism-related skeletal dysplasia from South Korea. To assess abnormal deformities, morphological features, metric data, and computed tomography scans are analyzed. Differential diagnoses include achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia, chondrodysplasia, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, thalassemia-related hemolytic anemia, and lysosomal storage disease. The diffused deformities in the upper-limb bones and several coarsened features of the craniofacial bones indicate the most likely diagnosis to have been a certain type of lysosomal storage disease. The skeletal remains of EP-III-4-No.107 from the Eunpyeong site, although incomplete and fragmented, provide important clues to the paleopathological diagnosis of skeletal dysplasias.

“…Blauth classification system has been used to outline hypoplastic thumbs into five degrees which depict increasing severity of deficiency. Hypoplastic thumb in humans is described more often in males than in females and is bilateral in about two‐third of the cases . Most of the isolated cases of absent thumb are sporadic.…”

Although congenital thumb absence has been reported frequently in humans, their occurrence in macaques is rare. We observed three cases of spontaneous thumb defects in captive female rhesus monkeys. One animal exhibited bilateral absence and two other presented unilateral thumb absence, all with metacarpal integrity. This report presents the clinical, radiological, and genealogical details as well as possible etiologies in an attempt to draw a parallel with humans and other primate species.
