| Abstract | Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDL) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by mild-to-moderate short stature and early-onset osteoarthritis. Both autosomal and X-linked forms have been described. Elsewhere, we have reported the identification of the gene for the X-linked recessive form, which maps to Xp22.2. We now report characterization of an exon-skipping mutation (IVS3+5G→A at the intron 3 splice-donor site) in two unrelated families with SEDL. Using reverse transcriptase (RT)–PCR, we demonstrated that the mutation resulted in elimination of the first 31 codons of the open reading frame. The mutation was not detected in 120 control X chromosomes. Articular cartilage from an adult who had SEDL and carried this mutation contained chondrocytes with abundant Golgi complexes and dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER). RT-PCR experiments using mouse/human cell hybrids revealed that the SEDL gene escapes X inactivation. Homologues of the SEDL gene include a transcribed retropseudogene on chromosome 19, as well as expressed genes in mouse, rat, Drosophila melanogaster Caenorhabditis elegans, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The latter homologue, p20, has a putative role in vesicular transport from ER to Golgi complex. These data suggest that SEDL mutations may perturb an intracellular pathway that is important for cartilage homeostasis. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
