Whole exome sequencing (WES) identified a heterozygous c.806C &amp;gt; T (p. Pro269Leu) variant in the PTDSS1 gene, which was validated by Sanger sequencing and functionally assessed for pathogenicity. We further reviewed 12 previously reported cases with PTDSS1 variants and compared phenotypes, highlighting both shared and unique features.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This case expands the ethnic and phenotypic spectrum of LMS and reinforces the association between the c.806C &amp;gt; T (p.
