Notes

aka c.4595G>A, p.Cys1532Tyr and C1532Y OMIM cites a paper stating this mutation as leading to (recessively inherited) Schwartz Jampel syndrome type 1, however, note the mention of a subsequent paper questioning whether there was an additional cause.

C;T

Unaffected in absence of another pathogenic HSPG2 gene mutation. See details via ClinVar link on main SNP/rs# page.
