Abstract excerpt
Spondyloperipheral dysplasia (SPD; OMIM 271700) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by vertebral body abnormalities (platyspondyly, end-plate indentations), hip dysplasia and brachydactyly type E. Here, we identified a novel truncating mutation (p.Lys1444AsnfsX27) in the C-propeptide of type II collagen in an affected Chinese individual with SPD. Our findings will provide clues to...
