Caffey Disease is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by episodes of massive subperiosteal new bone formation, usually involving the diaphysies of long bones, mandible and clavicle. It typically presents before 5 months of age and clinical features resolve spontaneously around 2 years of age. A single pathogenic mutation, c.3040C>T (p.Arg1014Cys) has been found in the COL1A1 gene. Penetrance of the mutation is only ~80%, with an inflammatory event as the pro-posed mechanism to elicit clinical presentation.
