Abstract

Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH; MIM no. 177170) is an autosomal dominant osteochondrodysplasia characterized by short‑limb short stature, brachydactyly and early‑onset osteoarthropathy. Typically, at approximately two years of age, the rate of growth falls below the standard growth curve, causing a moderately severe form of disproportionate short‑limb short stature. The current study described the clinical and radiographic observations of six Chinese patients with PSACH, and identified two de novo novel missense mutations [p.Asp326Asn (c.976G>A) and c.1585A>G (p.Thr529Ala)] in cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in the patients. The current study expanded the mutation spectrum of the COMP gene, and contributes to the understanding of phenotype/genotype of COMP‑associated diseases.
