The tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome type II (TRPS II) is characterized by sparse scalp hair, a long nose with a bulbous tip, a long flat philtrum, cone-shaped epiphyses of the phalanges, retarded bone age in infancy and multiple cartilaginous exostoses. All patients have a hemizygous deletion on chromosome 8q23.3-24.11 which spans at least the 2.8 Mb-region from TRPS1 through EXT1. Only patients with deletions that extend beyond this interval tend to have mental retardation. Here we describe a 14.5-year-old girl with mental retardation and TRPS II. Her facial features are only mild, but she has the typical skeletal features including cone-shaped epiphyses at the phalanges, retarded bone age, multiple exostoses and short stature. She is the first patient with TRPS II and a molecularly proven mosaic interstitial deletion in 8q22.3-q24.13. The deletion is one of the largest ever found in TRPS II, and spans 19.79 Mb and 50 genes or loci including TRPS1 and EXT1. The degree of mosaicism is 7% in lymphocytes from peripheral blood and 97% in skin fibroblasts.

Eiken syndrome with parathyroid hormone resistance due to a novel parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 mutation: clinical features and functional analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Two patients of East African descent have been identified with a novel homozygous variant in the parathyroid hormone receptor type 1 (PTH1R), which is linked to Eiken syndrome features such as brachydactyly and skeletal abnormalities.
- Both patients showed parathyroid hormone resistance, resulting in low calcium and high phosphate levels, which initially pointed to pseudohypoparathyroidism, yet genetic testing confirmed a specific PTH1R mutation.
- Functional analysis revealed that both PTH1R variants caused increased basal cAMP signaling and reduced responsiveness to PTH and PTH-related peptide, indicating a disruption in PTH1R signaling pathways associated with their clinical symptoms.

Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a genetic disorder caused by point mutations or deletions in the gene-encoding transcription factor TRPS1. TRPS patients display a range of skeletal dysplasias, including reduced jaw size, short stature, and a cone-shaped digit epiphysis. Certain TRPS patients experience early onset coxarthrosis that leads to a devastating drop in their daily activities.

Here we report the case of a young boy with developmental delay, thin sparse hair, early closure of the anterior fontanel, bilateral choanal atresia, brachyturicephaly; and dysmorphic features closely resembling those seen in trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS). These features include sparse hair, sparse lateral eyebrows, a bulbous pear shaped nose, a long philtrum, thin lips, small/hypoplastic nails, pes planovalgus; bilateral cone-shaped epiphyses at the proximal 5th phalanx, slender long bones, coxa valga, mild scoliosis, and delayed bone age. Given that TRPS had been excluded by a thorough genetic analysis, whole exome sequencing was performed and a heterozygous likely pathogenic variant was identified in the FBXO11 gene (NM_001190274.

Article Synopsis
- Tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a rare malformation syndrome with unique facial, ectodermal, and skeletal traits, categorized into different types based on genetic causes.
- A study at Aarhus University Hospital analyzed 15 patients with TRPS type I, highlighting a median age of diagnosis at 15 years and a follow-up period of 10 years, revealing a prevalence of 0.5 in 100,000 individuals.
- Common symptoms included fine hair, distinctive facial features, joint complaints, and skeletal anomalies, with no clear link between specific genetic mutations and the clinical symptoms, underscoring the importance of multidisciplinary care for effective diagnosis and management.
