Although mutations in numerous genes account for nearly 50% of CHH cases, a significant portion remains genetically uncharacterized. While most mutations follow the traditional Mendelian inheritance patterns, evidence suggests oligogenic interactions between CHH genes, acting as modifier genes to explain variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance associated with certain mutations.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>In this study, the proband presented with nCHH, while his son exhibited KS. We employed whole-exome sequencing (WES) to investigate the genetic differences between the two, and Sanger sequencing was used to validate the results obtained from WES.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Genetic analysis revealed that both the proband and his son harboured a mutation in <jats:italic>FGFR1<\/jats:italic> gene.
