reported case in the literature. On review of all cases in the literature, we find that the affected individuals show abnormalities primarily in three systems namely- skeletal, nervous and immune system. Notably, patients harbouring the same variant in EXTL3 gene show phenotypic variability especially with respect to presence or absence of immunological manifestations, suggesting a role of unknown modifiers. Hence, it is currently not possible to correlate the variant position in the EXTL3 gene with disease severity.
