Corresponding gene ADAMTSL2
Main clinical features
  • happy faces , dysostosis-multiplex-like changes, predominantly in the hands and feet, short stature, small hands and feet with broad proximal phalanges, cone-shaped epiphyses, delayed bone age and shortened tubular bones, and an apparently focal accumulation of acid mucopolysaccharides in the liver and possibly the cardiovascular system
  • small hands and feet were evident at birth, joint contractures affected particularly the fingers, hepatomegaly and cardiomegaly; urinary excretion of mucopolysaccharides was normal
  • biopsy material has shown abundant lysosome-like vacuoles in hepatocytes, fibroblasts and macrophages suggestive of a storage disorder
  • Genetic determination autosomal recessive
    Function/system disorder osteo-articular
    Type disease
