Abstract
This study underscores the significance of identifying the clinical manifestations of pachyonychia congenita (PC) and emphasizes the patterns of genetic inheritance. A 12-month-old boy presented with a "white hairy tongue" and, following a comprehensive evaluation, was diagnosed with PC. His father exhibited similar symptoms. Genetic testing revealed a KRT16 pathogenic variant (c.616 T > G) in both the patient and his father, marking it as a novel variant in the PC literature. This case contributes to a broader understanding of PC's genetic diversity and its clinical presentations.
本研究强调了识别先天性巨舌症(PC)临床表现的重要性,并强调了遗传模式。一名 12 个月大的男孩出现 "白毛舌",经过全面评估后被确诊为先天性巨舌症。他的父亲也有类似症状。基因检测发现患者及其父亲均存在 KRT16 致病变异(c.616 T > G),这在 PC 文献中是一个新变异。该病例有助于人们更广泛地了解 PC 的遗传多样性及其临床表现。
