Abstract
Progressive pseudorheumatoid dysplasia (PPD) is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by predominant involvement of articular cartilage with progressive joint stiffness. Here we report genetic characterization of a consanguineous family segregating an uncharacterized from of skeletal dysplasia. Whole exome sequencing of four affected siblings and their parents identified a loss of function homozygous mutation in the WISP3 gene, leading to diagnosis of PPD in the affected individuals. The identified variant (chr6: 112382301; WISP3:c.156C>A p.Cys52*) is rare and predicted to cause premature termination of the WISP3 protein.
