Expanding the phenotype of SPONASTRIME dysplasia to include short dental roots, hypogammaglobulinemia, and cataracts.

ABSTRACT: SPONASTRIME dysplasia (SD) is an autosomal recessive skeletal dysplasia of the spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD) type. The name was derived from "spondylar and nasal alterations with striated metaphyses" [Fanconi et al. 1983; Helv Paediat Acta 38: 267-280]. We follow two previously reported patients with SD [Patients 3, 4 in Langer et al. 1996; Am J Med Genet 63: 20-27]. Since the original publication, additional findings were identified in these patients.
