A homozygous 5\u2005bp deletion (NM_020347.2:c.402-406del, p.Pro136ThrfsX5) in <jats:italic>LZTFL1<\/jats:italic> was identified. No LZTFL1 transcript was found in the patient's fibroblasts and no protein could be detected. The sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway analysis conducted on the patient's fibroblast showed a significant increase in Smo. Patched1 as well as the downstream target GLI2 were also found to be upregulated, indicating an overall massive activation of the Shh signalling in the absence of LZTFL1.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>\n                     <jats:italic>LZTFL1<\/jats:italic>, encoding the human leucine zipper transcription factor like 1, has been recently shown to be an important negative regulator of BBSome ciliary trafficking and Shh signalling.
