Description : Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 2 (SEMDJL2) is characterized
by short stature, distinctive midface retrusion, progressive knee malalignment (genu
valgum and/or varum), generalized ligamentous laxity, and mild spinal deformity. Intellectual
development is not impaired. Radiographic characteristics include significantly retarded
epiphyseal ossification that evolves into epiphyseal dysplasia and precocious osteoarthritis,
metaphyseal irregularities and vertical striations, constricted femoral neck, slender
metacarpals and metatarsals, and mild thoracolumbar kyphosis or scoliosis with normal
or mild platyspondyly (summary by Min et al., 2011). The most distinctive features
for differential diagnosis of SEMDJL2 are the slender metacarpals and phalanges and
the progressive degeneration of carpal bones; however, these 2 features are evident
only in older children and young adults. The soft consistency of cartilage in the
airways leads to laryngotracheomalacia with proneness to respiratory obstruction and
inspiratory stridor in infancy and childhood (summary by Boyden et al., 2011).;
