Pseudodiastrophic dysplasia is a distinct disorder that differs from diastrophic dysplasia on the basis of elbow and proximal interphalangeal joint dislocations, platyspondyly, and scoliosis. We report on a new patient with this rare skeletal dysplasia and two previously undescribed major malformations: omphalocele and complex heart defect.

Background: Pseudodiastrophic dysplasia (PDD) is a severe skeletal dysplasia associated with prenatal manifestation and early lethality. Clinically, PDD is classified as a 'dysplasia with multiple joint dislocations'; however, the molecular aetiology of the disorder is currently unknown.
Methods: Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on three patients from two unrelated families, clinically diagnosed with PDD, in order to identify the underlying genetic cause.

Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation type Ig (ALG12-CDG) is part of a group of autosomal recessive conditions caused by deficiency of proteins involved in the assembly of dolichol-oligosaccharides used for protein N-glycosylation. In ALG12-CDG, the enzyme affected is encoded by the gene. Affected individuals present clinically with neurodevelopmental delay, growth retardation, immune deficiency, male genital hypoplasia, and cardiomyopathy.
