Abstract Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, progressive nephropathy, immunodeficiency, and distinctive ectodermal features. We report two affected siblings born to consanguineous parents. The first case is a 4-year-old girl presenting with severe disproportionate short stature, lumbar lordosis, facial dysmorphism, coarse hair, hyperpigmented macules, and persistent lymphopenia, with normal renal function. The second case is her 3-year-old brother, who presented with growth retardation, facial dysmorphism, thoracic kyphosis, lumbar lordosis, steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, secondary hypothyroidism, and marked T-cell deficiency. An older sibling had previously died from chronic kidney disease, and molecular testing in the family confirmed a SMARCAL1 mutation.
These observations illustrate the phenotypic variability and severity of SIOD and emphasize the importance of early diagnosis, monitoring of immunological and renal functions, and multidisciplinary management to improve outcomes.
