Disruption of human SLC26A2 causes a spectrum of osteochondrodysplasias, including achondrogenesis type 1B (OMIM#600972) [21], atelosteogenesis type II (OMIM#256050) [22], recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (OMIM#226900) [23], [24], and diastrophic dysplasia (OMIM#222600) [25]. This evidence concerns the gene SLC26A2 and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia.
