Novel sonic hedgehog gene variant in a patient with hyponatremia, microsomia, and midline defects; phenotype description in association with a variant of unknown significance [c.755_757del p.(Phe252del)] and an approach to salt-wasting in SHH-related adrenal disorders
Abstract:Objective
To contribute a novel sonic hedgehog (SHH) gene variant in association with a novel-meagerly described phenotype and discuss SHH signaling pathway pathology.
Case presentation
We present a 5-year-old boy with excessive hyponatremia and natriuresis, microform holoprosencephaly and microsomia, with morphologically intact hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, and hypoaldosteronism, yet without hyperreninemia, hyp… Show more
