Background:
Conradi-Hünermann-Happle syndrome (CDPX2, OMIM 302960) is an X-linked dominant inherited disorder caused by variants in the EBP gene, which primarily affects the skin, bones, and eyes.
Objective:
To describe the clinical manifestations and genetic mutation in a 7-year-old girl presenting with severe scoliosis, hydronephrosis, and other skeletal abnormalities.
Methods:
The patient's medical history was collected from birth. Exome sequencing was performed to identify candidate genes, and the detected variant was confirmed by Sanger sequencing.
Results:
Exome sequencing revealed a de novo EBP mutation (c.452A>G, p.Gln151Arg) in the patient.
Conclusion:
The patient was diagnosed with X-linked chondrodysplasia punctata type 2 (CDPX2). This novel missense mutation expands the mutation spectrum of CDPX2 and underscores the clinical utility of exome sequencing in diagnosing this condition.

Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...
