Abstract

Rationale: Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 1 (SGBS1) is caused by mutations in GPC3 or in both GPC3 and GPC4. Physical manifestations of SGBS1 include fetal overgrowth and macrostomia, macroglossia. Subclinical hypothyroidism has never been reported in SGBS1 cases., Patient Concerns: An 8-days-old boy was referred to our hospital with persistent hypoglycemia and special facies. And the infant showed elevated levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Free T4 and free T3 were normal., Diagnoses: Definitive diagnosis of SGBS1 depends on clinical features and genetic testing. A nonsense mutation (c.1515C > A, p. Cys505*) was tested by whole-exome sequencing., Interventions: Normal blood glucose levels were maintained with glucose infusions. Levothyroxine was given to the patient for treating subclinical hypothyroidism., Outcomes: The parents decided to abandon the treatment of the patient. We learned that the patient died of a lung infection by a telephone follow-up., Lessons: Subclinical hypothyroidism could be added to the known clinical manifestations of SGBS1.
