ImportanceCytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (PORD) is a rare disease exhibiting a variety of clinical manifestations. This condition specifically leads to disordered steroidogenesis, which can affect the development of the reproductive system, skeleton, and other parts of the body. The severe form of PORD is difficult to differentiate with Antley-Bixler syndrome (ABS). The genetic characters and clinical evaluation of PORD are still unclear in China. ObjectiveTo perform an exome analysis and identify the pathogenic cause in order to assist clinicians to obtain a proper evaluation on the genetic condition. MethodsThe proband underwent detailed physical evaluations. DNA of the proband and his parents was isolated and whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed. Variants were analyzed and evaluation according to the ACMG guideline. ResultsA 1-year-old Chinese boy with midface hypoplasia, choanal stenosis, multiple joint contractures, micropenis and right cryptorchidism was misdiagnosed with Crouzon syndrome. By trio-whole-exome sequencing, we identified an unreported compound heterozygous mutation (c.667C>T, p.R223* and c.1370G>A, p.R457H) in POR in the proband. This mutation was inherited from healthy heterozygous parents, supporting the diagnosis of PORD, which was further confirmed by biochemical characteristics. InterpretationWe have identified a pathogenic variant with an unreported compound heterozygous POR mutation, which expands the clinical and genetic spectra of PORD and emphasizes the usefulness of WES for genetic diagnosis.
