Identification of a novel COL10A1: c.1952 G>T variant in a family with Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia and development of a noninvasive prenatal testing method.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The collagen alpha-1(X) chain gene (COL10A1) is a known causative gene for Schmid metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (SMCD). This study clinically examined a Chinese family (n = 42) for SMCD and inheritance pattern. Fifteen individuals were diagnosed with SMCD based on characteristic skeletal phenotypes with autosomal dominant inheritance mode.

Methods

Four clinically diagnosed patients and three healthy relatives were selected for subsequent genetic tests. Trio-whole exome sequencing (Trio-WES) followed by Sanger sequencing and familial co-segregation analysis were performed to identify SMCD-associated variants.

Results

COL10A1 (NM_000493.4):c.1952 G>T(p.Trp651Leu) variant was detected only in the four patients and not in the three healthy relatives. The variant
