Fibrochondrogenesis is a severe, autosomal recessive, short limbed skeletal dysplasia In a single case of fibrochondrogenesis, whole genome SNP genotyping identified unknown ancestral consanguinity by detecting three autozygous regions Because of the predominantly skeletal nature of the phenotype the 389 genes localized to the autozygous intervals were prioritized for mutation analysis by correlation of their expression with known cartilage selective genes via the UCLA Gene Expression Tool, UGET The gene encoding the alpha 1 chain of type XI collagen (COL11A1) was the only cartilage selective gene among the three candidate intervals Sequence analysis of COL11A1 in two genetically independent fibrochondrogenesis cases demonstrated that each was a compound heterozygote for a loss of function mutation on one allele and a mutation predicting substitution for a conserved triple helical glycine residue on the other The parents who were carriers of missense mutations had myopia Early onset hearing loss was noted in both parents who carried a loss of function allele, suggesting COL11A1 as a locus for mild, dominantly inherited hearing loss These findings identify COL11A1 as a locus for fibrochondrogenesis and indicate that there might be phenotypic manifestations among carriers
