CONTEXT: Hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism (HRD) syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by distinct clinical, biochemical, and genetic abnormalities, is characterized by severe short stature, the etiology of which is unclear. Homozygous mutation of the tubulin cofactor E (TBCE) gene leading to loss of four amino acids (c.155-166del12; p.del 52-55) in the TBCE protein has been associated...
