We present a case of a 25-year-old man who came to our Endocrine Clinic for evaluation of
short stature. He had a history of sensorineural hearing loss, hypertrichosis and
hyperpigmentation with the thickening of the skin below the hip, gynecomastia and
autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Investigations showed that he had hypergonadotropic
hypogonadism. His phenotype was consistent with that of a rare autosomal recessive
genodermatosis of 'H-syndrome'. The diagnosis was confirmed by genetic analysis using …
We present a case of a 25-year-old man who came to our Endocrine Clinic for evaluation of short stature. He had a history of sensorineural hearing loss, hypertrichosis and hyperpigmentation with the thickening of the skin below the hip, gynecomastia and autoimmune haemolytic anaemia. Investigations showed that he had hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. His phenotype was consistent with that of a rare autosomal recessive genodermatosis of ‘H-syndrome’. The diagnosis was confirmed by genetic analysis using next-generation sequencing which showed a homozygous mutation in the SLC29A3 gene (variant: c.1330G>T (p.Glu444Ter)) which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. This is a rare syndrome with around 100 cases reported in world literature. Though the skin manifestations are pathognomonic of the H-syndrome, it has myriad presentations like short stature, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, dyslipidaemia, cardiac anomalies and sensorineural hearing loss. We report this case to highlight the constellation of features of this rare syndrome and bring awareness among the physicians to be vigilant about this syndrome.
