- Abstract
A case report of an 11-year-old boy with a de novo variant in NOTCH2 and clinical features characteristic of Hajdu-Cheney syndrome is reported, with acroosteolysis of the distal phalanges of the feet and hands, generalized osteoporosis, musculoskeletal and craniofacial alterations, short stature, bowing of long bones, vertebral anomalies, genu recurvatum, hypertrichosis, joint and skin hyperlaxity, atopic dermatitis, megalocorneas, micrognathia and frequent respiratory infections, among others. Treatment is with bisphosphonates in the framework of bone density improvement and with focal vibration therapy for rehabilitation of the musculoskeletal system and gait improvement. The three generalities of this pathology—phenotypic variability, degenerative character and the presence of generalized osteoporosis and acroosteolysis of the distal phalanges—are seen in this case, whose diagnostic confirmation was made by genetic study.
