Since then, the girl gradually exhibited \u201cX\u201d leg, double wrist joints, a bilateral ankle deformity, and rickets. At the age of 9 years, the girl was hospitalized. Laboratory testing showed that her blood phosphorus, blood calcium and blood potassium levels were significantly decreased. At the same time, the girl's urine glucose and urine protein were positive, although her fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and 75 g glucose tolerance were not significantly abnormal. Further, blood gas analysis showed metabolic acidosis. These symptoms corresponded to Fanconi syndrome. Gene analysis showed that there was a homozygous pathogenic variant c.140 \u2264 5G &amp;gt; A (p.?) in the CTNS gene, which was a small variation in the intron region. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the rare variant.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Attention should be paid to the differential diagnosis of
