RSPRY1

Parents

Clinical features

Mutations in RSPRY1 cause a clinically recognizable autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by various skeletal deformities, smaller than normal head, short stature, facial dysmorphism, sideway curving of the spine, shortened hand and foot bones, and intellectual disability.

Prevalence

Largely unknown due to limited data.

Inheritance

Mutations of this gene can be passed on to the next generation in an autosomal recessive manner. This means that if both parents carry a mutation involving this gene (usually without displaying the disease), there is a greater chance that their children are going to inherit the mutations from both parents and display the disease. This is especially important to consider in consanguineous marriage, where the chance of both parents having the same mutation and passing it is greater.
