OMIM 273750 (3-M) syndrome is a rare cause of severe short stature with variable dysmorphic features caused by pathogenic variants in several genes including cullin7 gene (). Hypogonadism and hypospadias have been described in only a few males. We report a patient with 7 pathogenic variant who had bifid scrotum and perineal hypospadias at birth. He entered puberty spontaneously at age 12 years and appropriately completed pubertal development by 15 years. Subsequently, a regression of testicular volumes, increased gonadotropin levels, and reduced (although normal) testosterone levels were observed. This case highlights the importance of careful pubertal monitoring as pubertal dysfunction may be associated with 3-M syndrome.
OMIM 273750(3-M)综合征是导致严重身材矮小的罕见病因,伴有多种畸形特征,由包括culin7基因在内的多个基因的致病变异引起。仅在少数男性中描述过性腺功能减退和尿道下裂。我们报告了一名患有7种致病变异的患者,其出生时阴囊分裂和会阴型尿道下裂。他在12岁时自然进入青春期,并在15岁时正常完成青春期发育。随后,观察到睾丸体积缩小、促性腺激素水平升高以及睾酮水平降低(尽管仍正常)。该病例突出了仔细进行青春期监测的重要性,因为青春期功能障碍可能与3-M综合征相关。
