Abstract PTRH2 deficiency is associated with an extremely rare disease, infantile-onset multisystem neurologic, endocrine, and pancreatic disease (IMNEPD). We report the first Iranian patient with IMNEPD. We detected a pathogenic variant in the PTRH2 gene (NM_016077.5: c.68T > C, p.V23A). The proband has myopia, spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, urolithiasis, and a history of seizures.
