Abstract
Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC, OMIM #183900) is one of the type II collagenopathies caused by a heterozygous mutation in the COL2A1 gene. Although typical SEDC shows delay of pubic bone ossification on radiographs, atypical SEDC exists without this finding. We identified an atypical SEDC patient with a novel missense mutation in the C-propeptide region of COL2A1. This case suggests that a COL2A1 C-propeptide mutation can cause atypical SEDC.
