An adolescent girl presents with bilateral cheek enlargement, hyperpigmentation and hypertrichosis of the lower extremities with otological, cardiac, endocrine, and hepatosplenic involvement. Clinical findings supplemented by histopathological and wide exome sequencing results led to the diagnosis of H syndrome. The genetic testing showed a homozygous frameshift mutation in the gene involving unique exon and codons. This case highlights the unique characteristics of H syndrome observed in a Filipino female with a variant of the gene mutation.
一名青春期女孩出现双侧脸颊肿大、下肢色素沉着和多毛症,并伴有耳科、心脏、内分泌和肝脾受累。临床检查结果辅以组织病理学和全外显子组测序结果,最终诊断为H综合征。基因检测显示该基因存在纯合移码突变,涉及独特的外显子和密码子。本病例突出了在一名携带该基因突变变体的菲律宾女性中观察到的H综合征的独特特征。
