Abstract HINT1 gene mutations cause an axonal neuropathy with some specific findings including presence of neuromyotonia, autosomal recessive inheritance, onset in the first decade, and primary motor involvement. We described an 18-year-old female patient who presented to the clinic with gait instability and muscle stiffness. A homozygous novel c.180_181delAT (p.Ser61Profs*8) variant in the HINT1 gene was found by clinical exome analysis. Parents were heterozygous for the same variant. The patient was diagnosed with autosomal recessive axonal neuropathy with neuromyotonia. The presence of neuromyotonia must be evaluated in patients with hereditary axonal neuropathies as this can help the diagnosis prior to genetic testing.

ABSTRACT A 25-year-old male dwarf and his sister, a 31-year-old woman were investigated. Their respective heights were 114 and 97 cm with proportional statures. Their bone ages were that found in the adult subject. Thyroid functions and metyrapone test were normal and the total urinary gonadotrophin was determined in both cases. HGH secretion was not stimulated by insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, arginine infusion or exercise. Their parents and six other siblings were normal in height. The two patients were therefore assumed to be suffering from an isolated growth hormone deficiency with autosomal recessive inheritance.
