Here we present the case of a patient with a novel de novo, likely pathogenic, heterozygous MAP3K7 variant (c.528dupT, p.G177WfsX5) causing cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome (CSCFS). The variant, which falls in exon 6, is the first frameshift or non-sense mutation to be connected to CSCFS and presents with a phenotype that shares features with other MAP3K7-linked pathologies, including frontometaphyseal dysplasia 2 (FMD2) and the syndrome arising from an interstitial 6q15 deletions which envelop the gene. Other known mutations associated with CSCFS are plotted in black text (1,2,3).

Cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome (CSCFS) is a congenital malformation characterized by growth retardation, facial features, short toes with carpal and tarsal fusion, extensive posterior neck vertebral fusion, congenital heart disease, and deafness. Here, we report a severe case of CSCFS with a novel variant, p.Thr187Ile, in MAP3K7.

The transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathways play a pivotal role in bone development and skeletal health. More than 30 different types of skeletal dysplasia are now known to be caused by pathogenic variants in genes that belong to the TGF-β superfamily and/or regulate TGF-β/BMP bioavailability. This review describes the latest advances in skeletal dysplasia that is due to impaired TGF-β/BMP signaling and results in short stature (acromelic dysplasia and cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome) or tall stature (Marfan syndrome).

Cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome (CSCF; MIM#157800) is a rare condition caused by monoallelic variants in the MAP3K7 gene. The characteristic features of CSCF include growth retardation, facial dysmorphism, carpal-tarsal fusion, dorsal spine synostosis, deafness, inner ear malformation, cardiac septal defect and valve dysplasia. We present here a 20-week-old fetus with cardiospondylocarpofacial syndrome arising from a de novo variant c.
