    Abstract:
    A full-term male infant born from consanguineous Saudi parents, with one other live child, is suspected to have skeletal dysplasia on a fetal anomaly scan. Clinical findings at birth included short stature, bowed long bone affecting the lower limbs more than the upper limbs, severe joint contractures with restricted movement, failure to thrive, hypertonia, and camptodactyly of the index fingers. During infancy, the baby is noted to have sucking and swallowing difficulties necessitated nasogastric tube feeding, and recurrent respiratory distress episodes with frequent admissions due to respiratory failure required intensive care admission and mechanical ventilation. The skeletal survey demonstrated dysplasia of long bones and spine. To investigate a suspect genetic syndrome, a whole-exome sequencing test was performed, which identified a novel homozygous mutation in the LIFR gene.
