Pathogenic variants in the gene are causative of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). We present a case of a 2-year-old girl with hypophosphatemic rickets with genu varum and short stature without any family history of XLH. Next generation sequencing of the gene identified a splice donor variant, NM_000444.6:c.1173 + 5G > A in intron 10. This variant had a mosaic pattern with only 22% of the sequence reads showing the variant allele and was not present in the girl's parents, both of whom had a normal phenotype. This is a sporadic case of a de novo mosaic splice-site variant in the gene.
该基因的致病性变异是X连锁低磷性佝偻病(XLH)的病因。我们报告了一例2岁女童,患有低磷性佝偻病,伴有膝内翻和身材矮小,且无XLH家族史。对该基因进行下一代测序,在第10内含子中鉴定出一个剪接供体变异,NM_000444.6:c.1173 + 5G > A。该变异呈现嵌合模式,只有22%的序列读数显示变异等位基因,且在女童表型正常的父母中均未出现。这是该基因新发嵌合剪接位点变异的散发病例。
