Geleophysic dysplasia is a rare skeletal dysplasia often complicated by progressive cardiac
disease. Information about long‐term outcomes is limited. A clinical update of the oldest
surviving patient described with geleophysic dysplasia type 1 is provided. Special note is
made in relation to the cardiac disease and interventions. Genetic testing of ADAMTSL2
revealed a previously reported missense mutation as well as a novel nonsense mutation,
which can be added to the list of causative mutations in geleophysic dysplasia.
