Borjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS) is an X-linked recessive disorder resulting from mutations in the gene. The syndrome is characterized by short stature, obesity, hypogonadism, hypotonia, intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, fleshy ears, and finger and toe abnormalities. However, the diagnostic challenge in identifying BFLS remains a topic of interest. In this case report, we present the clinical characteristics of a proband with BFLS, highlighting the additional features of hypotonia, intellectual disability, and distinctive facial features. While no definitive treatment exists for BFLS, patients benefit from specialized education and ongoing supervision from early childhood through adulthood. Symptomatic treatment, including close follow-up, may be necessary for complications such as seizures and hearing problems. Mastectomy or testosterone replacement therapy may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Genetic counseling for X-linkage should be offered to affected families.
博杰森 - 福斯曼 - Lehmann综合征(BFLS)是一种由该基因中的突变引起的X连锁隐性疾病。该综合征的特征包括身材矮小、肥胖、性腺功能减退、肌张力减退、智力残疾、独特的面部特征、多肉的耳朵以及手指和脚趾异常。然而,识别BFLS的诊断挑战仍然是一个备受关注的话题。在本病例报告中,我们展示了一名BFLS先证者的临床特征,突出了肌张力减退、智力残疾和独特面部特征等额外特征。虽然目前尚无针对BFLS的明确治疗方法,但患者从幼儿期到成年期都能从特殊教育和持续监督中受益。对于癫痫和听力问题等并发症,可能需要进行对症治疗,包括密切随访。乳房切除术或睾酮替代疗法可根据具体情况考虑。应向受影响的家庭提供关于X连锁的遗传咨询。
