Abstract
Skeletal dysplasias are a group of rare genetic disorders that affect growth and development of the skeleton, leading to physical deformities and other medical problems. High-throughput genome sequencing technologies have made it easier to genotype the disorder, but do not always reflect the phenotypic outcome. CHST3-related skeletal dysplasia is caused by the reduced function of the carbohydrate sulfotransferase that sulfates chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycans. We show in this pilot study that we were able to phenotype patients with CHST3-related skeletal dysplasia by profiling the glycosaminoglycans and identifying their potential protein carriers sequentially using freezer-induced patient urine sediments.
