Spondylo-ocular syndrome (SOS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder and affects primarily ocular and spinal tissues. This case report presented an Omani child with a novel homozygous variant, c.2070 G > A (p.Trp690Ter) in associated with SOS for the first time. Oman and other Middle East countries have a high consanguine marriage rate. Our case report will increase knowledge of SOS syndrome to be able to provide genetic diagnosis and counseling for other family members and families as well as prenatal diagnostics for the future pregnancies.

Desbuquois dysplasia type 2 (DBQD2) and spondylo-ocular syndrome (SOS) are autosomal recessive disorders affecting the extracellular matrix (ECM) and categorized as glycosaminoglycan (GAG) linkeropathies. Linkeropathies result from mutations within glycosyltransferases involved in the synthesis of the tetrasaccharide linker, a linker between the core protein of proteoglycan (PG) and GAG. DBQD2 and SOS are caused by the isolated mutations of the xylosyltransferase (XT) isoforms.

Spondylo-ocular syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by generalized osteoporosis, hearing loss, visual impairment due to cataract, and platyspondyly. Previous studies have revealed that the syndrome is caused by pathogenic variants in the XYLT2 gene. A patient with spondylo-ocular syndrome and two heterozygous pathogenic variant in the XYLT2 gene in compound state are described here.

The term linkeropathies (LKs) refers to a group of rare heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by a variable degree of short stature, skeletal dysplasia, joint laxity, cutaneous anomalies, dysmorphism, heart malformation, and developmental delay. The LK genes encode for enzymes that add glycosaminoglycan chains onto proteoglycans via a common tetrasaccharide linker region. Biallelic variants in XYLT1 and XYLT2, encoding xylosyltransferases, are associated with Desbuquois dysplasia type 2 and spondylo-ocular syndrome, respectively.
