Facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature (FILS) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disease. In this study we reported the first Chinese patient with FILS syndrome. The patient had short stature and suffered from recurrent respiratory infections up to the age of 4 years. Other symptoms of the disease included livedo on the inner side of upper limbs and thigh skin, prominent forehead, low anterior and posterior hairline, short and down-slanting palpebral fissure, low-set ears, long nasal tip and columella, and a small mouth with irregular teeth. A whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed and revealed two variants within the polymerase ε (POLE) gene. One of the variants was a splicing variant (c.5811 + 2T > C) derived from the mother, while the other was a nonsense variant (c.2006G > A) derived from the father. These two variants were not reported in previous FILS syndrome cases. Therefore this case provides further insight into the POLE gene variant spectrum that enriches the clinical phenotype.
