Human GATA3 haploinsufficiency leads to HDR (hypoparathyroidism, deafness, and renal dysplasia) syndrome. The development of a specific subset of organs in which this transcription factor is expressed appears exquisitely sensitive to gene dosage. We report on a 14-year-old patient with symptomatic hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural bilateral deafness, unilateral renal dysplasia, bilateral palpebral ptosis, and horizontal nystagmus. Fundoscopy displayed symmetrical pseudopapilledema, and brain CT scan revealed basal ganglia calcifications. FISH analysis did not disclose any microdeletion in the 22q11.2 or 10p14 regions. GATA3 mutation analysis identified a heterozygous deletion of GG nucleotides at codon 36 and 37 (c.108_109delGG) in exon 2 causing a frameshift with a premature stop codon after a new 15-aminoacid sequence. Restriction endonuclease analysis performed in parents was negative. Our patient carries a novel "de novo" GATA3 mutation, providing further evidence that HDR syndrome is caused by haploinsufficiency of GATA3, which may be responsible for a complex neurologic picture besides the known triad.

Hypoparathyroidism (hypoPTH), sensorineural deafness, and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant condition with approximately 200 cases published. HDR syndrome is caused by variants of GATA binding protein 3 gene (), which encodes a transcription factor, with multiple types of variants reported. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who was diagnosed with hypoPTH when she was aged 40 years and transferred care to our institution.

Summary: HDR is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by the triad of hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal anomalies caused by haploinsufficiency loss of function of the GATA-binding protein 3 (GATA3) gene. We present a case of a 56-year-old male diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, renal hypoplasia and epilepsy. Genetic testing revealed a novel GATA3 heterozygous mutation c.

Purpose: Hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease associated with mutations in the GATA3 gene, which encodes GATA3 that plays essential roles in vertebrate development. This study aimed to identify and report the pathogenic mutation in GATA3 in a Chinese family diagnosed with HDR syndrome and determine its functional impacts in vivo.
Subjects And Methods: The clinical features of a 25-year-old male patient with HDR syndrome and his parents were collected.

Article Synopsis
- HDR syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism, deafness, and renal disease, with a case report of a Chinese infant who exhibited early-onset nephrotic syndrome, a condition not commonly associated with HDR syndrome.
- The infant, a 9-month-old boy, showed symptoms like proteinuria, growth retardation, and sensorineural deafness, with his medical history indicating significant developmental delays and congenital issues.
- Genetic testing revealed a specific variant in the gene, suggesting a potential link between this variant and the development of nephrotic syndrome in infants with HDR syndrome.

HDR syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism (H), deafness (D), and renal dysplasia (R) caused by genetic variants of the GATA3 gene. We present the case of a 38-year-old Japanese man with HDR syndrome who exhibited hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, renal dysfunction, severe symptomatic hypocalcemia with Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs, and QT prolongation on electrocardiography. He had a family history of deafness and hypocalcemia.
