Homozygosity mapping and candidate gene sequence analysis in three independent families identified biallelic gene B3GALT6 mutations, including homozygous missense, the families present a severe autosomal-recessive connective tissue disorder characterized by skin fragility, delayed wound healing, joint hyperlaxity and contractures, muscle hypotonia, intellectual disability, and a spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with bone fragility and severe kyphoscoliosis. The phenotype overlaps with several recessive Ehlers-Danlos variants and spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint hyperlaxity. Affected individuals' fibroblasts exhibit a large decrease in ability to prime glycosaminoglycan synthesis together with impaired glycanation of the small chondroitin/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan decorin, confirming b3GalT6 loss of function. Dermal electron microcopy discloses abnormalities in collagen fibril organization, in line with the important regulatory role of decorin in this process. A strong reduction in heparan sulfate level is also observed, indicating that enzyme b3GalT6 deficiency alters synthesis of both main types of glycosaminoglycans. In vitro wound healing assay reveals a significant delay in fibroblasts from two index individuals, pointing to a role for glycosaminoglycan defect in impaired wound repair in vivo.

They consist of glycosaminoglycan chains attached to a core protein via a tetrasaccharide linkage, whereby addition of the third residue is catalyzed by galactosyltransferase II, encoded by gene B3GALT6. A crucial role for b3GalT6 in multiple major developmental and pathophysiological processes 735420
