摘要

Background

Ring chromosome 7 has been associated with developmental delay, mental disability, growth failure, and numerous developmental organ anomalies. To date, very few cases have been described, but none have any endocrine manifestations.

Case presentation

Here, we report a 23-year-old male suffering from ring chromosome 7 due to deletion of 7q36.1-36.3, who presented with young-onset diabetes mellitus and pituitary microadenoma in addition to the usual features of gene deletion defects.

Conclusion

This is the first reported case in the literature having endocrinopathies in association with ring chromosome 7 syndrome.
