Dyssegmental dysplasia (DD) is a severe skeletal dysplasia comprised of two subtypes: lethal Silverman-Handmaker type (DDSH) and nonlethal Rolland-Desbuquois type (DDRD). DDSH is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in HSPG2 encoding perlecan, whereas the genetic cause of DDRD remains undetermined. Schwartz-Jampel syndrome (SJS) is also caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in HSPG2 and is an allelic disorder of DDSH. In SJS and DDSH, 44 and 8 pathogenic variants have been reported in HSPG2, respectively. Here, we report that five patients with DDRD carried four pathogenic variants in HSPG2: c.9970 G > A (p.G3324R), c.559 C > T (p.R187X), c7006 + 1 G > A, and c.11562 + 2 T > G. Two patients were homozygous for p.G3324R, and three patients were heterozygous for p.G3324R. Haplotype analysis revealed a founder haplotype spanning 85,973 bp shared in the five patients. SJS, DDRD, and DDSH are allelic disorders with pathogenic variants in HSPG2.
节段性发育不良(DD)是一种严重的骨骼发育不良,包括两种亚型:致死性 Silverman-Handmaker 型(DDSH)和非致死性 Rolland-Desbuquois 型(DDRD)。DDSH 是由编码硫酸乙酰肝素蛋白聚糖 2(perlecan)的 HSPG2 双等位基因致病性变异引起的,而 DDRD 的遗传原因尚未确定。Schwartz-Jampel 综合征(SJS)也是由 HSPG2 的双等位基因致病性变异引起的,是 DDSH 的等位基因疾病。在 SJS 和 DDSH 中,HSPG2 分别报道了 44 种和 8 种致病性变异。在这里,我们报告了五例 DDRD 患者携带 HSPG2 中的四个致病性变异:c.9970G>A(p.G3324R)、c.559C>T(p.R187X)、c7006+1G>A 和 c.11562+2T>G。两名患者为 p.G3324R 纯合子,三名患者为 p.G3324R 杂合子。单体型分析显示,五个患者共享一个跨越 85973bp 的致病变异的创始人单体型。SJS、DDRD 和 DDSH 是由 HSPG2 中的致病性变异引起的等位基因疾病。
