The reason was an apparent hypoplasia of the distal humerus and variable fibular hypoplasia (but not aplasia) that was slightly reminiscent of atelosteogenesis type 1 (AO1). The redefinition of this severe DTD variant as atelosteogenesis type 2 was unfortunate because it suggested a relationship with AO1 and at the same time denied the relationship with diastrophic dysplasia. Later biochemical and molecular studies brought this entity back to its origin &#x02013; that is, in the diastrophic dysplasia-achondrogenesis group in which <i>SLC26A2</i>-related atelosteogenesis is considered to be a severe form of <i>SLC26A2</i>-DTD, and in which lethality distinguishes <i>SLC26A2</i>-related atelosteogenesis from <i>SLC26A2</i>-DTD.</p><p><a class="bk_pop" href="#ao2.REF.de_la_chapelle.1972.759">De la Chapelle et al [1972]</a> described two sibs with a novel condition very similar to <i>SLC26A2</i>-related atelosteogenesis, with very hypoplastic ulna and fibula; one additional sib and one more person with this condition (de la Chapelle dysplasia) were reported by <a class="bk_pop" href="#ao2.REF.whitley.1986.29">Whitley et al [1986]</a>.
