Abstract

Small patella syndrome presents with small or absent patellae and may result in pulmonary arterial hypertension, typically in children. A pathogenic canonical splice site variant, c.1021+1G>A in the T-box transcription factor 4 (TBX4) gene, currently not included in commercial gene panel, was detected in an adult with pulmonary arterial hypertension and absent patellae. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
