It is a very rare disorder for which so far only a single extended patient family of Franco-Canadian descent had been reported. Its genetic cause is a mutation in <em>IARS2<\/em>, a gene encoding the mitochondrial isoleucine tRNA synthetase. <\/p>\n<p>Together with collaboration partners in Denmark, South Korea and Japan, researchers of the Institute of Human Genetics G\u00f6ttingen have now identified a novel homozygous missense mutation in <em>IARS2 <\/em>by whole-exome sequencing in a Danish patient. Interestingly, the clinical picture of the girl was first dominated by bilateral hip dislocation, short stature, and hypotonia combined with skeletal anomalies that initially suggested spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD). Several other CAGSSS-typical features like cataracts, peripheral neuropathy and hearing loss became only manifest over time. <\/p>\n<p>The study describes the second family worldwide with <em>IARS2 <\/em>mutation and confirms that variations in a mitochondrial-related gene may lead to skeletal dysplasia.
