SPONASTRIME dysplasia is an ultrarare spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia featuring short stature and short limbs, platyspondyly, depressed nasal bridge with midface hypoplasia and striated metaphyses. In 2019, an autosomal recessive inheritance was demonstrated by the identification of bi-allelic hypomorphic alleles in TONSL. The encoded protein has a critical role in maintaining genome integrity by promoting the...
