Abstract Here, we report a Japanese patient with Simpson–Golabi–Behmel syndrome involving a de novo 240-kb deletion including a part of GPC3. The patient showed pre- and postnatal macrosomia associated with coarse face, macrocephaly, supernumerary nipples, and cryptorchidism and characteristically presented with precocious puberty, mostly evaluated as advanced pubertal age of 15 years at the chronological age of 11.5 years.
