Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia, Pakistani type is a form of spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia involving PAPSS2 (also known as "ATPSK2").[2] The condition is rare.
Genetics[edit]
This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. It is due to mutations in the Bifunctional 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthetase 2 (PAPSS2) gene which is located on the long arm of chromosome 10 (10q23.2-q23.31).[3]
Treatment[edit]
History[edit]
This condition was first described in a large eight generation consanguineous Pakistani family.
The causative mutation was identified in 1998.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
