H syndrome (OMIM 6027820) is a novel form of histiocytosis affecting multiple organs with peculiar cutaneous manifestations. It is an autosomal recessive genodermatosis caused by pathogenic mutations in SLC29A3 that encodes the human equilibrative nucleoside transporter, hENT3. The cutaneous manifestations can mimic other sclerodermoid conditions. We present a 15‐year‐old boy diagnosed with H syndrome with typical clinical features and homozygosity for a novel pathogenic mutation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
