Case report reports a novel de novo PHEX splice variant in a girl with X-linked hypophosphatemia and Chiari malformation, highlighting diverse neurological and skeletal manifestations.
X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is a rare X-linked dominant inherited disorder caused by loss-of-function variants in the PHEX gene and characterized by renal phosphate wasting, hypophosphatemia, abnormal vitamin D metabolism, growth retardation and lower limb deformities. We describe a case of XLH-rickets in a 7-year-old girl with scaphocephaly, Chiari syndrome type I and syringomyelia, with a de novo non-canonical splice variant (c.1080-3C > G) in intron 9 of the PHEX gene, that has not been previously described.
