A 7-year-old boy visited our hospital for a detailed examination of proteinuria identified in a school urinary test. He had short stature, misaligned teeth, and mild intellectual disability. A urinary examination identified mild proteinuria and extremely high levels of beta-2 microglobulin. On blood examination, his protein, albumin, and creatinine levels were found to be normal; however, his lactate dehydrogenase and creatinine phosphokinase levels were slightly elevated. Upon histological examination, no abnormalities in glomeruli or tubules were found. Considering these results, we diagnosed our patient with Dent disease type 2 (DD2). Although the whole exome sequencing revealed large deletion of OCRL, which was seen only in Lowe syndrome and not in DD2 previously, our final diagnosis for the patient is DD2. A phenotypic continuum exists between Dent disease and Lowe syndrome, and several factors modify the phenotypes caused by defects in OCRL. Although patients have thus far been diagnosed with DD2 or Lowe syndrome on the basis of their symptoms, accumulation and analysis of cases with OCRL defects may hereafter enable more accurate diagnoses. © 2022.
