    1. All nine affected individuals presented with various skeletal dysplasias. In four families (A and C–E), X-rays revealed severe platyspondyly leading to disproportionate stature (Figure 1). Lumbar gibbus and kyphoscoliosis were observed in families C and D, respectively. Three individuals (from families D and E) had cervical malformations and a hypoplastic odontoid peg with cervical instability. Short stature was also present in families A and B but appeared to be the result of limb shortening. Metaphyseal abnormalities of the long bones were found in families A and E, whereas families B–D showed epiphyseal abnormalities (Figure 1). Brachydactyly was observed in affected individuals from families A, B, and D. In addition to showing skeletal abnormalities, all affected individuals in families B and C had intellectual disability (ID). This could not be assessed for individuals A:II-1, E:II-1, and E:II-2 because of their early death at 7 weeks, 6 months, and 10 months of age, respectively. Both siblings of family B were severely disabled and unable to speak and are currently wheelchair bound. Dysmorphic facial features were non-discriminatingly mild but included coarse facial features, a prominent nose, and full cheeks in almost all affected individuals (Figure S1). A single palmar crease was also observed in six of nine affected individuals. A striking phenotype present in three of the five families was T-cell-negative SCID. Affected individuals from families A and B showed a lack of T cells, whereas B cell numbers were normal (Figure 4). Family E showed idiopathic CD4+ lymphopenia and an absolute lack of naive T cells (both CD4+CD45RA+ and CD8+CD45RA+ T cells were missing). In families B and E, a typical skin rash prompted further evaluation of the blood cells. Maternal T cells were excluded, and the oligoclonal T cell reaction found in the presence of eosinophilia was compatible with an Omenn-like presentation of SCID.1,2 Worth mentioning are also the liver cysts seen in affected individuals from families A and E. Although the phenotypes were widely variable and partly contrasting (e.g., severe versus no ID, severe versus mild platyspondyly, and epiphyseal versus metaphyseal changes), all major malformations and features occurred in three organ systems only: the immune system, the skeleton, and the neurological system. All together, we classify these five families as having phenotypic variability of an EXTL3-related neuro-immuno-skeletal dysplasia phenotype. The affected individuals from families A and E died in early infancy, whereas the others are currently between 2 and 38 years of age. Individual III-1 from family D died at 30 years of age from a unknown cause. Table 1 gives an overview of the most affected organ systems in all affected individuals. Detailed case reports and clinical data for each affected individual can be found in the Supplemental Note.

      Born at 37 weeks, consanguineous family, APGAR = 9, tachypnea developed shortly after birth. At 20 weeks, skeletal abnormalities and kidney and liver cysts were detected. Died at 7 weeks from renal insufficiency.

      Inheritance: autosomal recessive

      Variant Evidence:

    2. All nine affected individuals presented with various skeletal dysplasias. In four families (A and C–E), X-rays revealed severe platyspondyly leading to disproportionate stature (Figure 1). Lumbar gibbus and kyphoscoliosis were observed in families C and D, respectively. Three individuals (from families D and E) had cervical malformations and a hypoplastic odontoid peg with cervical instability. Short stature was also present in families A and B but appeared to be the result of limb shortening. Metaphyseal abnormalities of the long bones were found in families A and E, whereas families B–D showed epiphyseal abnormalities (Figure 1). Brachydactyly was observed in affected individuals from families A, B, and D. In addition to showing skeletal abnormalities, all affected individuals in families B and C had intellectual disability (ID). This could not be assessed for individuals A:II-1, E:II-1, and E:II-2 because of their early death at 7 weeks, 6 months, and 10 months of age, respectively. Both siblings of family B were severely disabled and unable to speak and are currently wheelchair bound. Dysmorphic facial features were non-discriminatingly mild but included coarse facial features, a prominent nose, and full cheeks in almost all affected individuals (Figure S1). A single palmar crease was also observed in six of nine affected individuals. A striking phenotype present in three of the five families was T-cell-negative SCID. Affected individuals from families A and B showed a lack of T cells, whereas B cell numbers were normal (Figure 4). Family E showed idiopathic CD4+ lymphopenia and an absolute lack of naive T cells (both CD4+CD45RA+ and CD8+CD45RA+ T cells were missing). In families B and E, a typical skin rash prompted further evaluation of the blood cells. Maternal T cells were excluded, and the oligoclonal T cell reaction found in the presence of eosinophilia was compatible with an Omenn-like presentation of SCID.1,2 Worth mentioning are also the liver cysts seen in affected individuals from families A and E. Although the phenotypes were widely variable and partly contrasting (e.g., severe versus no ID, severe versus mild platyspondyly, and epiphyseal versus metaphyseal changes), all major malformations and features occurred in three organ systems only: the immune system, the skeleton, and the neurological system. All together, we classify these five families as having phenotypic variability of an EXTL3-related neuro-immuno-skeletal dysplasia phenotype. The affected individuals from families A and E died in early infancy, whereas the others are currently between 2 and 38 years of age. Individual III-1 from family D died at 30 years of age from a unknown cause. Table 1 gives an overview of the most affected organ systems in all affected individuals. Detailed case reports and clinical data for each affected individual can be found in the Supplemental Note.

      Free Text: "Birth weight, length and head circumference were 3.149 kg (−0.18SD), 51 cm (+0.99SD), and 33 cm (−0.74SD), respectively. Although she did not cry immediately and was described as sleepy and lethargic, her Apgar scores were 8 and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes, respectively. She has had poor weight gain throughout life. By 2 months of age, she developed alternating esotropia, poor visual fixation, truncal hypotonia, upper and lower extremity hypertonia and a high-pitched cry. She also had myoclonic jerks and jerky movements of her extremities. Her weight, height and head circumference were 4.6 kg (−1.57SD), 51 cm (−3.81 SD) and 39.2 cm (+0.06SD), respectively. A head CT scan detected no anatomical anomalies. An EEG showed excessively slow background without epileptiform activity. Despite intervention, her weight gain continued to fall off, and she was diagnosed with failure to thrive. She rolled over at age 6 months, sat unsupported at 1 year. A follow-up EEG at 14 months showed a slow dysrhythmic background compatible with a seizure predisposition and diffuse cerebral dysfunction. A brain MRI at 18 months of age showed normal anatomy and myelination. In the ensuing months, she demonstrated a happy disposition, low truncal muscle tone and distal hypertonia as well as a myopathic facial appearance, a tented upper lip, a high arched palate, micrognathia, prominent finger pads and mild fifth toe clinodactyly. At age 4 years and 1 month, a developmental assessment defined her overall functioning at no more than a 12-month-old equivalent; she was not autistic. At age 6 years and 11 months, she manifested sparse hair (trichotillomania), hooded eyelids, high arched palate, thin long face and mild micrognathia. At age 12 years, she walked with the support of splints. Her height, weight and head circumference were 127 cm (−3.64 SD), 22.6 kg (−4.06 SD), and 52 cm (−0.94SD), respectively. Her features included dolicocephaly, hooded eyelids, intermittently disconjugate gaze, sparse hair, high palate and crowded dentition. Developmental assessment documented behavioral difficulties including repetitive and self-stimulatory behaviors, sensory issues such as repetitively rubbing her hands on the floor and/or licking them and mouthing objects, rigidity, communication deficits, difficulties with emotional regulation and aggression when frustrated. Her aggression included the self-injurious behaviors of dermatillomania, biting and trichotillomania. She communicated with a few words, signs, gestures and a picture exchange communication system (PECS). She developed menses at age 13 years."
