X-linked dominant chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX2; Happle syndrome) is recognized almost exclusively in females, who display mosaic and asymmetric features, presumed to arise secondary to random X-inactivation. CDPX2 results from mutation of an X-linked gene coding for sterol-Delta(8)-Delta(7) isomerase (emopamil binding protein). We describe a boy with clinical features of CDPX2 (including those presumed to arise usually secondary to functional mosaicism in females). Biochemical and molecular studies demonstrate that he is mosaic for a sterol-Delta(8)-Delta(7) isomerase gene mutation. He is the first reported example of single gene mosaicism. giving rise to CDPX2 in a male. (C) 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
