A homozygous nonsense variant in DYM underlies Dyggve–Melchior–Clausen syndrome associated with ectodermal features

Dyggve melchior clausen syndrome (DMC, MIM 223800) is a very rare autosomal recessive form of skeletal dysplasia associated with various degrees of mental retardation. It is characterized by a progressive spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD) with disproportionate short stature, generalized platyspondyly and lacy iliac crest. Here, we report characterization of large consanguineous family segregating DMC in autosomal recessive manner. Scanning...
