Whole-Exome Sequencing Reveals a Recurrent D401N Mutation in the COMP gene that Causes Multiple Epiphyseal Dysplasia by Han Xiao in Peer Reviewed Journal of Forensic & Genetic Sciences (PRJFGS) in Lupinepublishers

Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) is a rare osteochondrodysplasia characterized by moderate short limb dwarfism and earlyonset osteoarthrosis. By whole-exome sequencing (WES), we identified a dominantly inherited mutation (c.1201G>A; p.D401N) in cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) in a large four-generation Chinese family. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed mutant COMP secretion was severely impaired. Our result expands the mutational spectrum of COMP and provides strong evidence for the genotype-phenotype correlation of COMP pathogenicity in MED.
