Specialty	Medical genetics

Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Pakistani type is a form of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia involving PAPSS2 (also known as "ATPSK2"). ^[2] The condition is rare.

Genetics

This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. It is due to mutations in the Bifunctional 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthetase 2 ( PAPSS2 ) gene which is located on the long arm of chromosome 10 (10q23.2-q23.31). ^[3]

History

This condition was first described in a large eight generation consanguineous Pakistani family.^{[ citation needed ]}

The causative mutation was identified in 1998. ^[4]
