Boomerang dysplasia (BD) is a perinatal lethal osteochondrodysplasia. Typical symptoms include micromelia with diminished ossification, and a characteristic bowed and boomerang like aspect of the long tubular bones. BD is caused by mutations in FLNB, the gene encoding the actin binding cytoskeletal protein, filamin B.
