She was born of a third-degree consanguineous marriage and had a twin brother who was of short stature. The index patient had a height of 141 cm, dysmorphic features including frontoparietal bossing, blue sclera with short stubby fingers and toes. Radiological evaluation revealed diffuse osteosclerosis with acro-osteolysis exclusively in the toes, apart from mid-facial hypoplasia, lack of pneumatization of the paranasal sinuses, dental abnormalities, and scoliosis. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry revealed increased bone mineral density. Based on the clinical features, the patient was tested for cathepsin K gene variants using next-generation sequencing and was found to be positive for a novel homozygous c.224T&amp;gt;C, p.Met75Thr likely pathogenic missense variant.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This patient presented at a later age than expected with recurrent fragility fractures and the diagnosis was not suspected till adulthood, owing to the subtle clinical features.
