caution:Although strongly similar to members of the ADAMTS family it lacks the metalloprotease and disintegrin-like domains which are typical of that family.,disease:Defects in ADAMTSL2 are the cause of geleophysic dysplasia [MIM:231050]. Geleophysic dysplasia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by short stature, brachydactyly, thick skin and cardiac valvular anomalies often responsible for an early death.,miscellaneous:There is a significant increase in total and active TGFB1 in the culture medium as well as nuclear localization of phosphorylated SMAD2 in fibroblasts from individuals with geleophysic dysplasia.,similarity:Contains 1 PLAC domain.,similarity:Contains 7 TSP type-1 domains.,subunit:Interacts with LTBP1.,
