Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS) (OMIM # 239300), is an autosomal recessive disease with phenotypic variability, ranging from mild nonsyndromic intellectual disability to syndromic form with severe intellectual disability, seizures, elevated alkaline phosphatase, brachytelephalangy and facial dysmorphism, Six subgroups of HPMRS were defined in which pathogenic mutations affect genes involved in either synthesis or remodeling of the anchor proteins. Among these, PGAP3 mutations are associated with HPMRS type 4. We report two siblings with a novel homozygous variant in PGAP3 expanding both the phenotypic findings and the mutational spectrum of HPMRS type 4. Developmental delay, hypotonia, facial dysmorphism were the consistent findings with HPMRS in our patients. Large anterior fontanel size, gum hypertrophy, pes equinovarus, concentric ventricle hypertrophy, frontoparietal atrophy and dysphagia were the findings of our patients that have been reported for the first time in this syndrome. Although there is an extensive list of differential diagnoses in patients with developmental delay and hypotonia, the recognizable pattern of facial features, parental consanguinity and mild to moderate serum ALP elevation should be sufficiently suggestive of HPMRS type 4.
