| Popis: | HDR syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism (H), deafness (D), and renal dysplasia (R) caused by genetic variants of the GATA3 gene. We present the case of a 38-year-old Japanese man with HDR syndrome who exhibited hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, renal dysfunction, severe symptomatic hypocalcemia with Chvostek’s and Trousseau’s signs, and QT prolongation on electrocardiography. He had a family history of deafness and hypocalcemia. Genetic testing revealed a novel GATA3 gene variant at exon 2 (c.48delC), which induces a frameshift resulting in termination at codon 178, causing HDR syndrome. We summarized 45 Japanese cases of HDR syndrome with regard to the mode of onset (familial or sporadic) and the age at diagnosis. In addition, we summarized all previous cases of HDR syndrome with GATA3 gene variants. Mapping of previously reported genetic variants in HDR syndrome revealed that most missense variants were observed at exons 4 and 5 regions in the GATA3 gene. These two regions contain zinc finger domains, demonstrating their functional importance in GATA3 transcription. This review of literature provides a useful reference for diagnosing HDR syndrome and predicting the related future manifestations. |
