We aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics of Chinese MEL patients and identify their pathogenic cause.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total, 10 Chinese MEL patients were recruited, and clinical manifestations and radiological characteristics were recorded. Sanger sequencing of the <jats:italic>LEMD3<\/jats:italic> gene was performed on peripheral blood samples of all patients, while the exome sequencing of matched peripheral blood, melorheostotic bone, and skin lesion samples was conducted on one patient who provided affected bone and skin tissues. Micro\u2010computed tomography (micro\u2010CT) was also used to scan the melorheostotic bone tissue.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found the average age of the 10 MEL patients was 29.5\u2009years (range 11\u201340\u2009years), and the major symptoms were bone pain, restricted movement, and bone deformity. The lesions sites were mainly located in femur (8\/10), tibia (8\/10), fibula (6\/10), and foot (7\/10), the next was pelvis (4\/10), and the last were patella (1\/10), hand (1\/10) and spine (1\/10). Radiological examinations showed a mixture of hyperostosis consisting of classic \u201cdripping candle wax,\u201d \u201costeoma\u2010like,\u201d or \u201cmyositis ossificans\u2010like\u201d patterns in most patients. No germline pathogenic variants in the <jats:italic>LEMD3<\/jats:italic> gene were found in all patients, but a disease\u2010causing somatic variant of <jats:italic>MAP2K1<\/jats:italic> (c.167A\u2009&gt;\u2009C, p.Gln56Pro) was detected in melorheostotic bone from one patient.
