摘要

Schimke immunoosseous dysplasia (SIOD) is an uncommon inherited genetic disorder resulting from pathogenic variants in the SMARCAL1 gene. This complex condition exhibits a wide range of clinical features, including skeletal abnormalities, steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, and immune system deficiencies. In this study, we report a case series of three patients diagnosed with SIOD, each harbouring copy number variants in the SMARCAL1 gene. The cases expand the current understanding of the genetic diversity underlying SIOD and highlight the significance of copy number variations as a pathogenic mechanism. Our findings contribute to broadening the genotypic spectrum associated with SIOD and underscore the importance of comprehensive genetic analysis for accurate diagnosis and management of this rare disorder.
