Abstract:

Background

Pathogenic variants of ACAN have been reported to cause spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia Kimberley type, spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, familial osteochondritis dissecans and idiopathic short stature with normal to advanced bone age. A recent international cohort study significantly expanded the ACAN mutation spectrum, further delineated the heterogeneous clinical characteristics of ACAN mutation patients. The prevalence of ACAN mutation in short stature patients is yet unknown.

Methods

Here we set to assess the frequency of ACAN variants among a cohort of 218 Chinese children with non-syndromic short stature.

Results

We identified three novel truncating variants at the 5' end of ACAN gene. All these pathogenic variants co-segregate with severe short stature phenotype in families. In addition, none of the probands showed significant advanced bone age. All affected individuals showed no signs of significant dysmorphic features or skeletal abnormities. The prevalence of ACAN defect in this cohort is estimated to be 1.4% (3/218). It is higher among families with parents also affected with severe short stature, up to 7.0% (3/43) if parental height is <2.5 SD or 16.7% (3/18) if parental height is <3.0 SD.

Conclusion

Our data suggest that ACAN mutation is a relative common cause of familial severe short stature.
