Abstract excerpt
Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity-leptodactylic type (SEMDJL2) is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia which is characterized by midface hypoplasia, short stature, joint laxity with dislocations, genua valga, progressive scoliosis, and slender fingers. Recently, heterozygous missense mutations in KIF22, a gene which encodes a member of the kinesin-like protein family, have been identified in...
