Mutations in human ADAMTS10 and ADAMTS17 cause Weill-Marchesani syndrome, which is characterized by short stature and eye abnormalities including microspherophakia (the lens of the eye is smaller than normal and spherically shaped) (Dagoneau et al. 2004; Morales et al. 2009; Shah et al. 2014). Here, ADAMTS17 is linked to Microspherophakia.
