Li M, Li Y, Liu H, Zhou H, Xie W, Peng Q. Case report: A homozygous ADAMTSL2 missense variant causes geleophysic dysplasia with high similarity to Weill-Marchesani syndrome. Front Genet 2022; 13:1014188. [PMID: 36246610 PMCID: PMC9554500 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.1014188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Geleophysic dysplasia and Weill-Marchesani syndrome from the acromelic dysplasias group of genetic skeletal disorders share remarkable clinical and genetic overlap. Methods: Ophthalmological, physical, radiological examinations were conducted with a female patient in her early 30 s. Whole exome sequencing followed by Sanger sequencing validation was performed to identify the genetic cause. Results: The patient, born to consanguineous Chinese parents, presented with microspherophakia, lens subluxation, high myopia, short statue, small hands and feet, stiff joints, and thickened skin. A diagnosis of Weill-Marchesani syndrome was initially made for her. However, genetic testing reveals that the patient is homozygous for the c.1966G>A (p.Gly656Ser) variant in ADAMTSL2, and that the patient’s healthy mother and daughter are heterozygous for the variant. As mutations in ADAMTSL2 are known to cause autosomal recessive geleophysic dysplasia, the patient is re-diagnosed with geleophysic dysplasia in terms of her genotype and phenotype. Conclusion: The present study describes the clinical phenotype of the homozygous ADAMTSL2 p. Gly656Ser variant, which increases our understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlation in acromelic dysplasias.

Geleophysic dysplasia: novel missense variants and insights into ADAMTSL2 intracellular trafficking. Mol Genet Metab Rep 2019; 21:100504. [PMID: 31516831 PMCID: PMC6732760 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgmr.2019.100504] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 08/15/2019] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Geleophysic dysplasia (GPHYSD1, MIM231050; GPHYSD2, MIM614185; GPHYSD3, MIM617809) is an autosomal disorder characterized by short-limb dwarfism, brachydactyly, cardiac valvular disease, and laryngotracheal stenosis. Mutations in ADAMTSL2, FBN1, and LTBP3 genes are responsible for this condition. We found that three previously described cases of GPHYSD diagnosed clinically were homozygote or compound heterozygotes for five ADAMTSL2 variants, four of which not being previously reported. By electron microscopy, skin fibroblasts available in one case homozygote for an ADAMTSL2 variant showed a defective intracellular localization of mutant ADAMTSL2 protein that did not accumulate within lysosome-like intra-cytoplasmic inclusions. Moreover, this mutant ADAMTSL2 protein was less secreted in medium and resulted in increased SMAD2 phosphorylation in transfected HEK293 cells.

Abstract
Geleophysic dysplasia is a rare skeletal dysplasia often complicated by progressive cardiac disease. Information about long-term outcomes is limited. A clinical update of the oldest surviving patient described with geleophysic dysplasia type 1 is provided. Special note is made in relation to the cardiac disease and interventions. Genetic testing of ADAMTSL2 revealed a previously reported missense mutation as well as a novel nonsense mutation, which can be added to the list of causative mutations in geleophysic dysplasia.

Abstract
The factors that regulate the size of organs to ensure that they fit within an organism are not well understood. A simple organ, the ocular lens serves as a useful model with which to tackle this problem. In many systems, considerable variance in the organ growth process is tolerable. This is almost certainly not the case in the lens, which in addition to fitting comfortably within the eyeball, must also be of the correct size and shape to focus light sharply onto the retina. Furthermore, the lens does not perform its optical function in isolation. Its growth, which continues throughout life, must therefore be coordinated with that of other tissues in the optical train. Here, we review the lens growth process in detail, from pioneering clinical investigations in the late nineteenth century to insights gleaned more recently in the course of cell and molecular studies. During embryonic development, the lens forms from an invagination of surface ectoderm. Consequently, the progenitor cell population is located at its surface and differentiated cells are confined to the interior. The interactions that regulate cell fate thus occur within the obligate ellipsoidal geometry of the lens. In this context, mathematical models are particularly appropriate tools with which to examine the growth process. In addition to identifying key growth determinants, such models constitute a framework for integrating cell biological and optical data, helping clarify the relationship between gene expression in the lens and image quality at the retinal plane.

Abstract
In this case report, we present occurrence of bilateral angle closure glaucoma in a 9-year-old girl with geleophysic dysplasia. Bilateral YAG laser iridotomy was applied, but intraocular pressure (IOP) remained at high levels, necessitating bilateral trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. On her follow-up examinations for 3 years, IOP remained in the mid-20s with no need for further intervention or antiglaucoma medication. There are few reports describing the ocular findings of geleophysic dysplasia in literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing an application of glaucoma surgery and its results at geleophysic dysplasia.

Abstract
Geleophysic dysplasia (GD) is a rare, recessively inherited lysosomal storage disorder of unknown origin with a progressive course. A 9-year-old Turkish boy born to consanguineous parents with findings typical of GD is reported. Cardiac abnormalities included mitral and aortic stenosis with aortic insufficiency. There was persistent hypo-uricacidaemia, severe pulmonary hypertension and tricuspid insufficiency. He required aortic and mitral valve replacement but, unfortunately, died of a severe pulmonary infection in the post-operative period. The condition has to be differentiated from lysosomal storage disorders such as mucopolysaccharidosis.
