X-linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets, del(2)(q37.1;q37.3) Deletion Syndrome and Mosaic Turner Syndrome, mos 45,X/46,X, del(2)(q37.1;q37.3) in a 3-year-old Female.


ABSTRACT: There are currently no published cases that report concomitant Turner syndrome (TS), 2q37 deletion syndrome and X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH). Interestingly, since the clinical phenotypes of TS and 2q37 deletion syndrome overlap, the correct diagnosis may be missed without a standardized approach to genetic testing consisting of both karyotype and microarray. Both chromosome anomalies have been associated with short stature and a variety of skeletal abnormalities however to date no reports have associated these syndromes in association with a phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog, X-linked (PHEX) gene deletion resulting in XLH. We report a 3-year-old female with 3 concurrent genetic disorders including a 9.98 Mb terminal deletion of chromosome 2: del(2)(q37.1;q37.3),
