Developmental dysplasia of the hip-3 (DDH3) is characterized by an acetabulum with significantly decreased volume, which increases local stress on the articular surface and causes instability of the hip joint, with pain, disability, and eventually osteoarthritis of the joint. A mouse model has demonstrated that LRP1 deficiency causes DDH through early closure of the Y-shaped triradiate cartilage of the acetabulum (Yan et al., 2022).
For a general phenotypic description and discussion of genetic heterogeneity of DDH, see DDH1 (142700). [from
