A novel de novo mutation in COL2A1 leading to spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita in a Chinese family.

Abstract

Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC) is an extremely rare autosomal dominant chondrodysplasia that is usually caused by substitution of glycine with another amino acid in the triple helical region of COL2A1. Herein, we describe a case of SEDC in a Chinese family with a novel de novo mutation in the COL2A1 gene, c.1150G>A (p.Gly384Ser), which may impair protein stability and lead to dysfunction of type II collagen.
