AbstractRothmund–Thomson syndrome (RTS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in RECQL4 and has characteristic clinical features. We report two unrelated phenotypically diverse patients (cases 1 and 2) with RTS having novel variants in RECQL4 gene. Case-1 was evaluated for poor growth and recurrent fractures and skin lesions. Case-2 presented at 4 months with failure to thrive and radial ray defect and developed poikilodermatous skin lesions after infancy. Both cases were confirmed to have homozygous pathogenic variants in RECQL4. Both patients have normal intellect and are on supportive therapy. The presence of characteristic poikiloderma lesions with specific distribution and skeletal anomalies in a patient with proportionate short stature is a clue toward the diagnosis of RTS.
