Abstract
Focal dermal hypoplasia (FDH; Goltz–Gorlin syndrome; OMIM
305600) is a disorder that features involvement of the skin,
skeletal system and eyes. It is caused by loss-of-function mutations
in the PORCN gene. We report a young girl with FDH,
microphthalmos associated with colobomatous orbital cyst,
dural ectasia and cystic malformation of the spinal cord, and
a de novo variant in PORCN. This association has not been
previously reported, and based on these observations the phenotypic
spectrum of FDH might be broader than previously
appreciated. It would be prudent to alter the suggested surveillance
for this rare disorder.
