PVNS related to possible genetic disorder?
by jpringle, Jun 27, 2009 02:56PM
I am a 30 yr old female who has a multitude of orthopedic issues. These include...
Osteoporosis- numerous fractures with little to no trauma
Osteoarthritis of most joints
Hearing loss- sensorineural and conduction
Loose joints
PCOS- Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (absent period)
Vitamin D Deficiency
Cold Intollerance (Raynauds in hands/feet)
Chronic Headaches
High Blood Pressure
Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis Left Knee - PVNS (2001) major surgery & then radiation
My most recent problem is that an MRI of my left wrist shows the potential for PVNS there now also. I have been told that PVNS does not occur in more than one joint except on EXTREMELY RARE CIRCUMSTANCES.
Could I have a genetic disorder?
Are there any genetic disorders that make someone prone to PVNS?
Your help in this puzzle is greatly appreciated!

We recommend that you meet with a medical geneticist who will perform a physical exam, review your medical history and family history. A medical geneticist can be found at the American College of Medical Genetics website. We wish you the best.
