Description |
Temtamy preaxial brachydactyly syndrome (TPBS) is an autosomal recessive rare disorder that is caused by the mutations in the CHSY1 gene. CHSY1 encodes chondroitin synthase 1 involving in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfate and perhaps affecting bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling. The loss-of-function mutations in the protein cause defects in multiple development processes. The major features include limb malformations, short stature, hearing loss, delayed motor and mental development, facial dysmorphism and dental anomalies.
