Abstract

Heterozygous variants of MATN3 is one of the common causes of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED). Here we report three individuals from two unrelated families who harbor compound heterozygous variants in MATN3 (p.Arg121Trp and p.Val220Ala). Contrary to the MED phenotype, these individuals exhibit spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia (SEMD) resembling the phenotypes caused by homozygous MATN3 variants. Clinical manifestations included short stature, aggravating genu varum, joint laxity, and spinal abnormalities. Radiographic findings were distinct from typical MED. These compound heterozygous variants in the von Willebrand factor A domain of MATN3 expand the phenotypic spectrum associated with MATN3, and suggest that extreme MATN3 dysfunction resulting from dual variants can lead to a specific pattern of SEMD.

两个因MATN3的vWFA结构域复合杂合而导致脊柱外胚层-骺软骨发育不良的家族

MATN3 杂合子变异是多发性骺发育不良（MED）的常见病因之一。在这里，我们报告了来自两个无血缘关系家庭的三个人，他们都携带 MATN3 的复合杂合子变异（p.Arg121Trp 和 p.Val220Ala）。与 MED 表型相反，这些人表现出脊柱软骨骺发育不良（SEMD），与同源 MATN3 变体引起的表型相似。临床表现包括身材矮小、畸形加重、关节松弛和脊柱异常。放射学检查结果与典型的 MED 截然不同。MATN3 的 von Willebrand 因子 A 结构域中的这些复合杂合子变异扩大了与 MATN3 相关的表型谱，并表明双重变异导致的极端 MATN3 功能障碍可导致特定模式的 SEMD。
