Geleophysic dysplasia: 48 year clinical update with emphasis on cardiac care

Am J Med Genet A. 2018 Nov;176(11):2237-2242. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.a.40377. Epub 2018 Sep 8.

Abstract

Geleophysic dysplasia is a rare skeletal dysplasia often complicated by progressive cardiac disease. Information about long-term outcomes is limited. A clinical update of the oldest surviving patient described with geleophysic dysplasia type 1 is provided. Special note is made in relation to the cardiac disease and interventions. Genetic testing of ADAMTSL2 revealed a previously reported missense mutation as well as a novel nonsense mutation, which can be added to the list of causative mutations in geleophysic dysplasia.

Keywords: ADAMTSL2; GD1; TAVR; aortic aneurysm; aortic stenosis; geleophysic dysplasia.
