Geleophysic and acromicric dysplasias: natural history, genotype–phenotype correlations, and management guidelines from 38 cases
Genetics in Medicine(2020)
摘要
Purpose Geleophysic dysplasia (GD) and acromicric dysplasia (AD) are characterized by short stature, short extremities, and progressive joint limitation. In GD, cardiorespiratory involvement can result in poor prognosis. Dominant variants in the FBN1 and LTBP3 genes are responsible for AD or GD, whereas recessive variants in the ADAMTSL2 gene are responsible for GD only. The aim of this study was to define the natural history of these disorders and to establish genotype–phenotype correlations. Methods This monocentric retrospective study was conducted between January 2008 and December 2018 in a pediatric tertiary care center and included patients with AD or GD with identified variants ( FBN1 , LTBP3 , or ADAMTSL2) . Results Twenty-two patients with GD (12 ADAMTSL2 , 8 FBN1 , 2 LTBP3 ) and 16 patients with AD (15 FBN1 , 1 LTBP3 ) were included. Early death occurred in eight GD and one AD. Among GD patients, 68% presented with heart valve disease and 25% developed upper airway obstruction. No AD patient developed life-threatening cardiorespiratory issues. A greater proportion of patients with either a FBN1 cysteine variant or ADAMTSL2 variants had a poor outcome. Conclusion GD and AD are progressive multisystemic disorders with life-threatening complications associated with specific genotype. A careful multidisciplinary follow-up is needed.
