{Abstract}: <B>BACKGROUND: </B>Short stature, amelogenesis imperfecta, and skeletal dysplasia with scoliosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, skeletal disorder first described in 2018. This syndrome starts with pre- and postnatal developmental delay, and gradually presents with variable facial dysmorphisms, a short stature, amelogenesis imperfecta, and progressive skeletal dysplasia affecting the limbs, joints, hands, feet, and spine.<BR><B>METHODS: </B>We identified a homozygous novel nonsense mutation in exon 1 of SLC10A7 (NM_001300842.2: c.100G > T / p.Gly34*) segregating with the typical disease phenotype in a Han Chinese family. We reviewed the 12-year surgical treatment history with seven interventions on spine.<BR><B>CONCLUSIONS: </B>To date, only 12 cases of the SLC10A7 mutation have been reported, mainly from consanguineous families. Our patient showed a relatively severe and broad clinical phenotype compared with previously reported cases. In this patient, annual check-ups and timely surgeries led to a good outcome.
