The majority of them are caused by variants in genes that encode glycosyltransferases, sulfotransferases, epimerases or transporters. These enzymes are essential for the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycanes, important components of the extracellular matrix. By means of exome sequencing, an international collaboration of researchers have now identified homozygous mutations in the <em>SLC10A7<\/em> gene in six patients with a specific type of skeletal dysplasia associated with multiple dislocations and amelogenesis imperfecta. The gene product of <em>SLC10A7<\/em> is a 10-transmembrane domain transporter located at the plasma membrane, the substrate of which is not yet known. The researchers performed various functional studies including a mouse model with the identified mutation which recapitulates several features of the human phenotype including shortened long bones, disorganization of the growth plate and tooth enamel anomalies. Their analyses showed that SLC10A7 plays a role in glycosaminoglycane biosynthesis and specifically in skeletal and teeth development.<\/p>\n<p>The results of this study have been published in <em>Nature Communications<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Dubail J, Huber C, Chantepie S, [\u2026] Cormier-Daire V.
