Leri–Weill Dyschondrosteosis Caused by a Leaky Homozygous SHOX Splice-Site Variant
7 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
SHOX deficiency is a common genetic cause of short stature of variable degree. SHOX haploinsufficiency causes Leri–Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) as well as nonspecific short stature. SHOX haploinsufficiency is known to result from heterozygous loss-of-function variants with pseudo-autosomal dominant inheritance, while biallelic SHOX loss-of-function variants cause the more severe skeletal dysplasia, Langer...
