Abstract
Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a rare monogenetic disease characterized by digital clubbing, periostosis and pachydermia. Mutations in the 15-hydroxy-prostaglandin dehydrogenase (HPGD) gene and solute carrier organic anion transporter family member 2A1 (SLCO2A1) gene have been shown to be associated with PHO. Here, we described clinical characteristics in a Chinese patient with PHO, and identified two novel mutations in SLCO2A1: a heterozygous guanine-to-thymidine transition at the invariant −1 position of the acceptor site of intron 2 (c.235-1G>T) and a heterozygous missense mutation p.Pro219Leu (c.656C>T) in exon 5.
