Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia with cone-rod dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder characterized by spondylometaphyseal dysplasia (which consists of platyspondyly, tubular bone shortening, and progressive cupping of the metaphyses), neonatal growth delays, and cone-rod dystrophy-associated progressive vision loss.[2][3] Only 18 patients from families in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Brazil have been described to date.[4] This condition is caused by autosomal recessive mutations in the PCYT1A gene, located in chromosome 3.[5][6][7]

Other symptoms include rib anomalies, astigmatism, abnormalities in color vision, severe hyperopia/myopia, hyperlordosis, nyctalopia, nystagmus, scoliosis, and photophobia.[8]
