Campomelic Dysplasia; SOX9 Gene
Campomelic dysplasia (CD; OMIM #114290), a rare form of congenital short-limbed dwarfism, is due to mutations in SOX9, a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG box) gene family. Multiparous mother at 38 weeks' gestation delivered a 3,272 g baby boy with characteristic phenotypes including bowing of the lower limbs, a narrow thoracic cage, 11 pairs of ribs, hypoplastic scapulae, macrocephaly, flattened supraorbital ridges and nasal bridge, cleft palate, and micrognathia. He underwent a tracheostomy at the age of three months for severe laryngomalacia after a number of repeated hospitalizations due to respiratory problems and died at the age of four months from progressive respiratory failure. He was diagnosed as having CD based on a novel frameshift mutation (p. Gln458ArgfsX12) in the SOX9 gene, the mutation which has not yet been reported in Korea.
