The complex phenotype observed in our patient is probably the result of the co-occurrence of rearrangements on chromosomes Xp22.1 and 15q25.2. The duplicated region on 15q25.2 region is likely to contain dosage-sensitive genes responsible for some of the clinical features observed in this patient, whereas the extreme short stature and the skeletal anomalies are likely attributable to the comorbidity of GHD and copy number variants in the SHOX region.
