Geleophysic dysplasia (GPHYSD1, MIM231050; GPHYSD2, MIM614185; GPHYSD3, MIM617809) is an autosomal disorder characterized by short-limb dwarfism, brachydactyly, cardiac valvular disease, and laryngotracheal stenosis. Mutations in ADAMTSL2, FBN1, and LTBP3 genes are responsible for this condition. We found that three previously described cases of GPHYSD diagnosed clinically were homozygote or compound heterozygotes for five ADAMTSL2 variants, four of which not being previously reported. By electron microscopy, skin fibroblasts available in one case homozygote for an ADAMTSL2 variant showed a defective intracellular localization of mutant ADAMTSL2 protein that did not accumulate within lysosome-like intra-cytoplasmic inclusions. Moreover, this mutant ADAMTSL2 protein was less secreted in medium and resulted in increased SMAD2 phosphorylation in transfected HEK293 cells.
