Sixteen males and two females with symmetrical (mild) type of chondrodysplasia punctata were tested for mutations in the X chromosome located arylsulphatase D and E genes. We identified one nonsense and two missense mutations in the arylsulphatase E gene in three males. No mutations were detected in the arylsulphatase D gene. Family studies showed segregation of the mutant genes establishing X linked inheritance for these families. Asymptomatic females and males were found in these studies. The clinical presentation varies not only between unrelated affected males, but also between affected males within the same family. We also conclude that clinical diagnosis of chondrodysplasia punctata in adults can be difficult. Finally, our results indicate that brachytelephalangy is not necessarily a feature of X linked symmetrical chondrodysplasia punctata.

Chondrodysplasia punctata (CP) is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by punctate calcifications in areas of endochondral ossification, with Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome (CDPX2) being the most common form. This study presents a clinical case of a 10-month-old female child, diagnosed with CDPX2 following a referral from a neonatology department of a secondary hospital center to a genetics consultation at a tertiary hospital center in Portugal. Despite normal prenatal monitoring, postnatal evaluations revealed typical manifestations of the syndrome, including nasomaxillary hypoplasia, macrocephaly, and skeletal abnormalities confirmed through imaging.

Background: X-linked recessive chondrodysplasia punctata 1 (CDPX1) is a rare congenital skeletal dysplasia characterized by stippled epiphyses, nasal hypoplasia, and brachytelephalangy. ARSL (formerly known as ARSE), a member of the sulfatase gene family located on Xp22.3, has been identified as the causative gene for CDPX1.

Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed pediatric patients with skeletal dysplasia to understand which subgroups frequently require operative airway evaluations and tracheostomies due to respiratory failure caused by airway issues.
- Out of 313 initial patients, 41 met the criteria; 19 of these had tracheostomies, with specific diagnoses such as Filamins disorders and Chondrodysplasia punctata being more common among those requiring the intervention.
- Findings emphasized that respiratory complications are common in skeletal dysplasia, with a significant number of patients undergoing tracheostomy, though only a few were successfully decannulated by the end of the study.

Article Synopsis
- Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) include various diseases with diverse symptoms like developmental delays, hearing loss, and liver issues, linked to genetic mutations affecting peroxisome function.* -
- A patient was studied using whole-exome sequencing to identify genetic causes behind their clinical symptoms, which included developmental delays and organ enlargement, but no single-nucleotide mutations were found.* -
- However, a homozygous deletion in exon 4 of the gene was identified, affecting the protein's transmembrane domain, which is crucial for normal cellular processes and peroxisome function.*
