This paper presents a rare case of fetal hydrops detected at just 23 weeks of gestation in a 22-year-old woman's first pregnancy. The fetal ultrasound revealed severe skeletal anomalies, craniofacial deformities, and thoracic abnormalities, suggesting a complex and severe skeletal dysplasia, potentially type IA Achondrogenesis-a lethal autosomal recessive condition marked by ossification delay. This case highlights the significance of advanced genetic testing, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) and whole-genome sequencing (WGS), in diagnosing and understanding skeletal dysplasias.

Introduction: Pathogenic variants in the gene cause the following spectrum of phenotypes: achondrogenesis 1B (ACG1B), atelosteogenesis 2 (AO2), diastrophic dysplasia (DTD), and recessive-multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (rMED), the first 2 being lethal. Here, we report a cohort and a comprehensive literature review on a genotype-phenotype correlation of -related disorders.
Methods: The local patients were genotyped by Sanger sequencing or next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Achondrogenesis Type II (ACG2) is a lethal skeletal disorder caused by a dominant mutation in the type II collagen gene (COL2A1). Familial cases have been reported, suggesting both germline and somatic mosaicism. We report on two pregnancies from the same couple with gross, radiologic, and microscopic findings of ACG2.

Background: The lethal osteochondrodysplasias are rare, their prevalence is estimated at 1 per 10 000 births. Mostly have genetic determinism.
Aims: To describe the malformations and dysmorphic features in lethal osteochondrodysplasias
Methods: Our study involved 32 cases of lethal fetal Osteochondrodysplasias, collected over a period of 14 years in the pathological department of Sousse.
