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.860C>A with a predicted amino acid substitution p.Ala287Asp. This hitherto unreported missense GATA mutation was characterized by a relatively late-onset and milder phenotype of the HDR triad.
Learning Points: GATA3 gene mutations located on chromosome 10p cause haploinsufficiency of the GATA3 protein affecting fetal development of the parathyroid glands, inner ear and renal anomalies, resulting in HDR syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.Also known as Barakat syndrome, it has been reported in less than 200 cases with an identified mutation, each having a varied phenotypic presentation without consistent genotypic correlation.We present a patient with HDR syndrome who tested positive for a novel mutation c.860C>A, resulting in a missense substitution of amino acids p.Ala287Asp in the GATA3 gene.Clinicians who identify this rare triad of hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness and renal anomalies should further investigate with genetic testing for GATA3 mutations.

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.

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.
