Article Abstract
Jones syndrome is a rare dominantly inherited syndrome characterized by gingival fibromatosis and progressive sensorineural hearing loss becoming symptomatic in the second decade of life. Here, we report a father and his two daughters presenting with a typical Jones syndrome (OMIM %135550) phenotype. Exome sequencing identified a repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST, OMIM *600571) (NM_005612.5) c.2670_2673del p.(Glu891Profs*6) heterozygous variant segregating with Jones syndrome in the family. We review the clinical data from all previously published patients with Jones syndrome and previously published patients with pathogenic REST variants associated with gingival fibromatosis or sensorineural hearing loss. This study suggests that pathogenic REST variants cause Jones syndrome.

Background: Culler-Jones syndrome (CJS) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypopituitarism, postaxial polydactyly, and craniofacial anomalies, associated with pathogenic GLI2 variants. Genotype-phenotype correlations suggest missense variants may present with isolated pituitary phenotypes.
Methods: We evaluated an 8-year-old boy referred for short stature, failure to thrive, and neurodevelopmental concerns.

Jones syndrome (JS) is an ultra-rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by gingival fibromatosis and progressive sensorineural hearing loss. It has been recently demonstrated in members of a Finnish family to co-segregate with heterozygosity for a frameshift variant in the fifth and last exon of the repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor gene (REST). Here, we report the first Italian family in which JS was diagnosed in the proband, a 38-year-old woman, and in her mother.

Culler-Jones syndrome is a rare clinical phenomenon with diverse manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. We report one patient who presented with a 10-year history of anosmia and a 1-year history of epididymal pain. Kallmann syndrome was suspected initially.
