Abstract
Acromesomelic dysplasia, type Maroteaux is caused by variants in NPR2. It is a severe chondrodysplasia resulting in shortening of the middle and distal segments of the limbs. Limb length at birth may be normal but decreased growth becomes obvious in the first 2 years of life. Here we present an 11-year-old male with mild but typical skeletal features of acromesomelic dysplasia, type Maroteaux. Whole exome sequencing has identified two likely pathogenic variants in NPR2 which have not previously been reported in individuals with acromesomelic dysplasia, type Maroteaux. Given these findings, a diagnosis of AMDM should be considered in individuals with characteristic radiological findings, even if stature is only modestly affected.
