It is characterized by hypomagnesemia and secondary hypocalcemia associated with neurological symptoms.

Sanger sequencing was further performed to validate the candidate variants. Subsequently, the <jats:italic>TRPM6<\/jats:italic> gene deletion was verified by quantitative PCR (qPCR) experiment.

Phenotypic data indicated that the patient had hypomagnesemia, poor parathyroid hormone response, and resultant hypocalcemia. The trio whole-exome sequencing identified that the proband carried compound heterozygous variants in the <jats:italic>TRPM6<\/jats:italic> gene, a paternally derived exon 6 deletion, and a maternally derived splicing variant (c.1638+7T&amp;gt;C) in exon 14. The minigene splice assay confirmed that the c.1638+7T&amp;gt;C variant resulted in exon 14 skipping, which caused the alteration of <jats:italic>TRPM6<\/jats:italic> mRNA splicing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our results support that the compound heterozygous variants in <jats:italic>TRPM6<\/jats:italic> are responsible for HSH in this patient. A novel pathogenic splicing variant (c.1638+7T&amp;gt;C) in the intron 14 disturbs the normal <jats:italic>TRPM6<\/jats:italic> mRNA splicing, suggesting that the non-classical splice variant plays a critical role in HSH.
