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.
