Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2025, Vol 51, Issue 1
Abstract
A case of Sifrim-Hitz-Weiss syndrome (Sifrim-Hitz-Weiss syndrome, SIHIWES) is presented. The patient was a 35-year-old male with cryptorchidism, growth retardation, skeletal malformations, muscular atrophy, a wide forehead, special facial features like square face, small low-set and cup-shaped ears since birth. Whole-exon sequencing identified a heterozygous mutation (NM_001273: c.3047A>G(chr12-6701125) (p.K1016R)) in CHD4 gene. The clinical significance of this mutation is currently unknown, and has not been previously reported. In light of the patient’s symptoms, the case was diagnosed as Sifrim-Hitz-Weiss syndrome. This case represents the first instance of Sifrim-Hitz-Weiss syndrome in an adult patient in China.
