    1. Case 3 is a 10‐month‐old Japanese female born at 37 weeks of gestation with a birth length of 40.0 cm (−2.9 SD relative to the average for this gestational age) and birth weight of 1,676 g (−3.1 SD relative to the average for this gestational age) (Table 1). A clinical diagnosis of Silver‐Russell syndrome was tentatively made on the basis of IUGR and her distinctive facial features—including a pronounced forehead, triangular facial structure, and underdeveloped alae nasi (Figure 1c,d)—but no genetic testing was performed until the current evaluation. Her height and weight were 60.3 cm (−4.0 SD relative to the average for her age) and 4.01 kg (−7.6 SD relative to the average for her age), respectively, at the time of evaluation for the present study. She was suspected to have SHORT syndrome given that her father (case 4) manifested diabetes and facial characteristics consistent with this syndrome. Her fasting plasma glucose, serum IRI concentrations, and serum C‐peptide were 83 mg/dL, 2.6 μIU/mL, and 1.34 ng/mL, respectively, with an HbA1c level of 4.6%. Her HOMA‐IR was 0.53, and her HOMA‐β was 46.8%.

      Case#: 10-month‐old Japanese female

      DiseaseAssertion: Patients are asserted to have “SHORT syndrome” and “harbor either a common or a previously unknown mutation in PIK3R1 as well as provide an in silico functional analysis of the mutant proteins.”

      FamilyInfo: Her father has SHORT syndrome, with the same variant of PIK3R1, NM_181523.3:c.1957A>T, further described in Case 4. Her paternal grandmother "also manifests some facial characteristics of SHORT syndrome as well as a hearing impairment."

      CasePreviousTesting: NR

      GenotypingMethod: Initially, comprehensive sequencing analysis was conducted on all 22 exons of the INSR gene using the Sanger sequencing method, confirming the absence of pathogenic variants. Subsequently, sequencing was extended to encompass all 16 exons of the PIK3R1 gene.

    2. Case 4 is a 33‐year‐old Japanese male, the father of case 3 (Table 1, Figure 1e,f). He was born at 36 weeks of gestation with a birth weight of 1,970 g and has had a severe bilateral sensorineural hearing impairment and used hearing aids since infancy. He was also diagnosed with glaucoma shortly after birth and with diabetes at 32 years of age, having been treated with a DPP‐IV (dipeptidyl peptidase‐IV) inhibitor and an SGLT2 inhibitor and manifesting an HbA1c level of 7.4% at the time of the current evaluation. He underwent a 75‐g oral glucose tolerance test for the present study, and his blood glucose and serum IRI levels at baseline and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 min after the glucose load were 130, 220, 238, 243, and 252 mg/dL and 8.0, 15.5, 25.6, 27.1, and 24.6 μIU/mL, respectively. His HOMA‐IR, HOMA‐β, and insulinogenic index were 2.57, 43.0%, and 0.083, respectively. His mother also manifests some facial characteristics of SHORT syndrome as well as a hearing impairment.
