Two brothers from a black family had microcephaly, short stature, and generalized microdontia. Endocrine and chromosome studies were normal, and mild skeletal manifestations were present. The patients may represent a distinct dental-skeletal dysplasia, possibly osteodysplastic primordial dwarfism type II. Attention to dental manifestations in similar cases may be useful for classification.

Chromosome 15q26 deletion is a rare condition that causes short stature and is associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), failure to thrive, congenital heart disease and many congenital malformations. The insulin growth factor receptor (IGF-1R) on chromosome 15 has many important roles, especially in growth regulation. Our case is an 18-month-old small for gestational age girl who presented with severe short stature, microcephaly and minor dysmorphic features.

Objective: To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of two children diagnosed with two rare genetic diseases simultaneously.
Methods: Two children with comorbidity of two genetic diseases due to dual genetic mutations diagnosed at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University respectively in May 2022 and March 2023 were selected as the study subjects. Clinical and genetic data of the two children were retrospectively analyzed.

The ARCN1 gene encodes the delta subunit of the coatomer protein complex I (COPI), which is essential for mediating protein transport from the Golgi complex to the endoplasmic reticulum. Variants in ARCN1 are associated with clinical features such as microcephaly, microretrognathia, intrauterine growth restriction, short rhizomelic stature, and developmental delays. We present a case of a patient exhibiting intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth, microcephaly, micrognathia, and central precocious puberty.

Introduction: Biallelic variants in QARS1, a house-keeping gene involved in protein synthesis, cause a rare encephalopathy classically characterized by severe developmental delay, drug-resistant neonatal-onset epilepsy, microcephaly, and brain atrophy. We aim to raise awareness on mild QARS1-related phenotypes describing a 6-year-old patient.
Case Description: Epilepsy onset occurred at 3.
