A novel COMP mutation in an Inuit patient with pseudoachondroplasia and severe short stature.
Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia, generally identified clinically at two years of age due to decreased linear growth and a waddling gait. Radiographic features include small and irregular epiphyses, with metaphyseal changes of the long bones and characteristic vertebral changes. Mutations in the COMP gene cause PSACH and some cases of multiple epiphyseal ...
متن کاملA Novel IGSF1 Mutation in a Boy With Short Stature and Hypercholesterolemia: A Case Report
Context IGSF1 deficiency is a recently discovered syndrome consisting of congenital central hypothyroidism (CeH) and macroorchidism. Here, we report on a patient presenting with short stature, who was found to carry a pathogenic mutation in the IGSF1 gene. Case Description A 14-year-old Israeli boy was referred to the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, for follow-up on sho...
متن کاملPainful locking of the wrist in a patient with pseudoachondroplasia confirmed by COMP mutation
We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH), with a heterozygous mutation (c.806A > G, p.Asp269Gly) located in the Type 3 repeats domain of the cartilage oligomeric matrix protein gene, who complained of the unusual symptom of painful locking of the wrist. Her condition was caused by a non-traumatic enlargement of the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL) and bre...
متن کاملDecreased Plasma COMP and Increased Plasma CTX-II Levels in a Chinese Pseudoachondroplasia Family with Novel COMP Mutation
Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) is an autosomal dominant osteochondrodysplasia caused by mutations in the gene encoding cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). Accurate clinical diagnosis of PSACH is sometimes difficult. Here, we identified a novel COMP mutation (c.1675G>A, p.Glu559Lys) in a Chinese PSACH family. We detected the plasma levels of COMP and type II collagen (CTX-II) in the four a...
متن کاملA Novel Form of Chondrocyte Stress is Triggered by a COMP Mutation Causing Pseudoachondroplasia
Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) results from mutations in cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and the p.D469del mutation within the type III repeats of COMP accounts for approximately 30% of PSACH. To determine disease mechanisms of PSACH in vivo, we introduced the Comp D469del mutation into the mouse genome. Mutant animals were normal at birth but grew slower than their wild-type littermat...
