Objective: To explore the molecular mechanism for a family with hereditary X-linked spondyloepiphysealdysplasia tarda (SEDT).

Methods: For 3 affected males and 2 obligate carrier females from the family, exons 3 to 6 of SEDL gene were amplified with PCR and sequenced.

Results: In the three patients, a deletional mutation (c.267_271delAAGAC) in exon 5 has been identified, which has caused frameshift of the protein product.

Conclusion: c.267_271delAAGAC frameshift mutation of the exon 5 of the SEDL gene probably underlies the disease in this family.

Background: Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) is a rare X-linked recessive inherited osteochondrodysplasia caused by mutations in the TRAPPC2 gene. It is clinically characterized by disproportionate short stature and early onset of degenerative osteoarthritis. Clinical diagnosis can be challenging due to the late-onset of the disease and lack of systemic metabolic abnomalites.

Objective: Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) is a rare hereditary bone disease characterized by spinal and epiphyseal anomalies. We identified the disease by gene sequencing in a Chinese pedigree with SEDT.

Methods: We extracted genomic DNA from five members of a four-generation Chinese SEDT kindred with three affected males and then analyzed the genetic mutation by PCR and DNA sequencing.

Objective: To identify potential mutation of TRAPPC2 gene in a Chinese family affected with X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (X-SEDL), and explore its underlying molecular mechanism.

Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 32 members of the family and 50 healthy adults to extract genomic DNA. DNA sequences of exons 3 to 6 and their exon/intron boundaries were amplified with PCR amplification.

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) is an X-linked recessive osteochondrodysplasia characterized by disproportionately short stature and degenerative joint disease. The objective of this study was to describe a novel nonsense mutation in the sedlin gene (SEDL) causing severe SEDT in a large Chinese pedigree. The clinical features of all affected individuals and female carriers were presented.
