Diagnostic assessment of osteoarthritis in children and adolescents is difficult. Here, we report the sixth family with a COL2A1 mutation R275C. The index patient, her mother and her three brothers had severe coxarthrosis, in some cases requiring surgery. Only the mother was hard of hearing, and only her children had brachydactyly of the fourth digit. The index patient suffered a femoral neck fracture after minor trauma at a time when osteoarthritis was not yet radiologically detectable. Hip fracture or osteoarthritis of unclear origin in childhood should prompt genetic work-up for the purposes of correct classification and genetic counseling.

The purpose of this study was to describe a family with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia caused by a novel type II collagen gene (COL2A1) mutation and the family's phenotypic diversity. Clinical and radiographic examinations of skeletal dysplasia were conducted on seven affected family members across two generations. The entire coding region of COL2A1, including the flanking intron regions, was analyzed with PCR and direct sequencing. The stature of the subjects ranged from extremely short to within normal height range. Hip deformity and advanced osteoarthritis were noted in all the subjects, ranging from severe coxa plana to mild acetabular dysplasia. Atlantoaxial subluxation combined with a hypoplastic odontoid process was found in three of the subjects. Various degrees of platyspondyly were confirmed in all subjects. Genetically, a novel COL2A1 mutation (c.1349G>C, p.Gly450Ala) was identified in all the affected family members; however, it was not present in the one unaffected family member tested. We described a family with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and a novel COL2A1 mutation (c.1349G>C, p.Gly450Ala). Phenotypes were diverse even among individuals with the same mutation and within the same family.
