Skeletal dysplasias are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of rare disorders. Studies from large cohorts are essential to provide insights into the disease epidemiology, phenotypic spectrum, and mutational profiles. Here we enumerate additional 248 Indians from 197 families with a skeletal dysplasia, following a similar study earlier. We achieved a clinical-molecular diagnosis in 145 families by targeted analysis in 37 and next generation sequencing (exomes and genomes) in 108 families that resulted in a diagnostic yield of 73.6% (145 of 197 families). We identified 149 causal variants, of which 85 were novel, across 73 genes. Eighty-one distinct monogenic forms of skeletal dysplasia were observed with a high proportion of autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasias (60%, 84 families). We observed consanguinity in 35% of the families. Lysosomal storage diseases with skeletal involvement, FGFR3-related skeletal dysplasia and disorders of bone mineralisation were most frequent in this cohort. We expand the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of rarely reported conditions (RAB33B, TRIP11, NEPRO, RPL13, COL27A1, PTHR1, EXOC6B, PRKACA, FUZ and RSPRY1) and noted novel gene-disease relationships for PISD, BNIP1, TONSL, CCN2 and SCUBE3 related skeletal dysplasia. We successfully implemented genomic testing for skeletal dysplasia in clinical and research settings. Our study provides valuable information on the spectrum of skeletal dysplasia and disease-causing variants for Asian Indians.

Rationale: The aim of this study is to investigate the de novo mutation and clinical features of latent transforming growth factor-beta-binding protein 3 (LTBP3) gene-associated geleophysic dysplasia 3, and possible mechanisms of action.

Patient Concerns: A nonconsanguineous couple was recruited for this study due to the presence of intrauterine growth restriction. The pregnant woman and her elder daughter presented with skeletal abnormalities with diabetes.

Background: Fetal skeletal dysplasia (FSD) is a group of systemic bone and cartilage disorders that develop prenatally and can be detected using fetal ultrasonography. However, it is unsuitable for skeletal analysis because it is reflected by supersonic waves in the bone cortex. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) is a suitable alternative and has improved the differential diagnosis of FSD during pregnancy.

Skeletal dysplasias and short stature are a heterogeneous group of pathologies in which achondroplasia is the most common presentation. The presence of bone deformities leads to thoracic and airway changes that can complicate ventilation and airway management. Most individuals with skeletal dysplasia present spinal abnormalities that increase the difficulty of administering neuraxial anaesthesia.

December 2024

Department of Oral Health Sciences-Orthodontics, KU Leuven and Service of Dentistry, University Hospitals Leuven, Leuven, Belgium.

Introduction: To systematically review the available literature reporting on genetic mutations leading to dento-maxillofacial malformations in mice.

Materials And Methods: An electronic search was performed across Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases up to May 2024, targeting all in vivo studies on gene mutations causing dento-maxillofacial deformities in mice. Studies reporting oral clefts were excluded.
