The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive disorder both carry one copy of the defective gene, but usually do not experience any signs or symptoms of the disorder. Currently, no specific mutation in any gene has been found to cause the disorder.It appears that the gene inositol polyphosphate phosphatase-like 1 is the cause of this condition in at least some cases.

Epidemiology
Opsismodysplasia is a very rare disorder, and is estimated to occur in less than 1 in 1,000,000 people. History
The disorder was first described by Jonathan Zonana and associates in 1977. Further observation of four cases of it was reported by Pierre Maroteaux and colleagues in 1982, and Maroteaux was the first to call the disorder "opsismodysplasia", in a 1984 journal report of three affected individuals. The name derives from the Greek opsismos, meaning "late", while the term dysplasia refers to development. References
