Description of clinical features of the disease in a 4-year-old boy with rigid spine syndrome is presented. Molecular genetic analysis revealed in this patient an unknown homozygous mutation 988delC in the SEPN1 gene (coding for selenoprotein N). In contrast to previously described selenoprotein-associated cases of the disease, our patient exhibited early involvement in the pathological process of muscles of the shoulder and the pelvic girdles.
