    Gene mutationChromosome rearrangementEffectComments
    various types   truncated protein A715V, C653S, Q454P, R279W mutations, homozygous aminoacid substitutions within extracellular loops or the N or C terminus or compound heterozygosity for a truncating and a mild mutation (heterozygotes for both, a null mutation and a partial-function mutation)
    Remark(s) . the mutations cause undersulfation of glycosaminoglycans in cartilage (PMID: 22566422))
    Genotype/Phenotype correlations Homozygous R279W is associated with mild phenotype often described as EDM4
