We conclude that the homozygous p.Glu394Lys variant in PRRT3 may be associated with a novel autosomal recessive, progeroid syndrome with short stature, mandibular hypoplasia, osteoporosis, short eyebrows, and mild growth hormone (GH) deficiency. Our findings extend the spectrum of progeroid syndromes and elucidate important functions of PRRT3 in human biology, including secretion of GH from the pituitary.
