Abstract
Geleophysic dysplasia (MIM *231050) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by short stature with short limbs, brachydactyly, joint contractures, and a good-natured facial appearance. Infiltration of liver and cardiac leaflets has been reported in some patients. Based on the clinical picture and the detection of lysosome-like inclusions in hepatocytes, tracheal mucosa, chondrocytes, and skin fibroblasts, the underlying cause of the conditions is considered to be a generalized lysosomal storage defect. We report on a new case born to consanguineous parents, first observed at age 8 months, and for whom a 7-year follow-up is available.
