| Identified Mutation |
1-BP INS, 723C; In a man with Langer mesomelic dysplasia (249700), Zinn et al. (2002) found a hemizygous or homozygous insertion of a C (723insC) in a stretch of 6 C's in exon 6a of the SHOX gene. The insertion causes a frameshift that replaces the C terminus with 50 novel amino acids, deleting a putative SH3 binding site. Zinn et al. (2002) concluded that the SHOXa isoform is essential for normal skeletal development. |
| Remarks |
Clinically affected; anthropometric measurements at age 65.3 years: height = 127.7 cm, height SD score = -7.2, upper to lower segment ratio = 1.8, upper to lower segment z-score = 30.3, arm span = 106.2 cm, arm span z-score = -9.2, right tibial length z-score = -8.0, right radial length z-score = -5.3, fourth metacarpal z-score = 0.9; high arched palate; normal fingernails; no scoliosis; mild increased carrying angle; severe mesomelia; marked ulnar hypoplasia; hypoplastic fibulae; severe Madelung wrist deformity; fused epiphyses; subject's parents reportedly had short stature (both 157 cm); sister affected with Leri-Weill dyschondrosteosis; donor subject is hemizygous or homozygous for a 1-bp insertion of a C, ins723C, in exon 6a of the SHOX gene resulting in a frameshift that replaces the carboxy terminus with 50 novel amino acids; subject has no wildtype SHOX exon 6a. Exon duplications or deletions were not ruled out, apart from the deletions detected by FISH with a SHOX cosmid. |
