Type 2 spinal muscular atrophy with lower extremity dominance (SMALED2) is caused by bicaudal D cargo adaptor 2 (BICD2) variants. However, the SMALED2 genotype and phenotype correlation have not been thoroughly characterized. We identified de novo heterozygous BICD2 missense variants in two fetuses with severe, prenatally diagnosed multiple arthrogryposis congenita. This report provides further insights into the genetics of this rare disease.
以下肢为主的2型脊髓性肌萎缩症(SMALED2)由双尾D货物衔接蛋白2(BICD2)变异引起。然而,SMALED2的基因型与表型相关性尚未得到充分表征。我们在两名产前被诊断为严重先天性多发性关节挛缩症的胎儿中鉴定出了从头杂合BICD2错义变异。本报告为这种罕见疾病的遗传学提供了进一步的见解。
