chest. Heterozygous female carriers are usually clinically and radiographically normal.5) Radiologic evaluations can reveal narrow disc spaces and moderate epiphyseal dysplasia. These characteristic constellation of radiologic findings can be seen in the lateral view of the thoraco-lumbar spine; narrowing of inter vertebral disc spaces, and pathognomonic superior and inferior 'humps' involving the posterior two-thirds of the flattened ver tebral bodies.
6)In most cases, there's no specific or mild subjective symptom. However, severe epiphyseal dysplasia can lead to premature secondary osteoarthritis affecting the spine and hip joints, often requiring hip replacement and resulting in significant morbidity. Here we report a case of SEDT with a novel frameshift mutation in TRAPPC2. To our knowledge, this is the first Korean report with SEDT confirmed by genetic testing. Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) is an X-linked skeletal dysplasia. Patients show disproportionate short stature with short trunk and barrel-shaped chest, which usually become pronounced in late childhood. The radiologic findings are charac terized by narrow intervertebral disc spaces and moderate epiphyseal dysplasia of long bones. Here we report a case of SEDT with a novel frameshift mutation in TRAPPC2, the disease-causing gene of SEDT. This is the first Korean report with SEDT confirmed by genetic testing.
