Snijders Blok‐Campeau syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder first described in 2018, mostly associated with de novo variants in the CHD3 gene that affects chromatin remodeling. This syndrome is characterized by developmental delay, speech delay, and intellectual disability, but only about 60 affected individuals have been reported to date. We report a de novo likely pathogenic CHD3 variant (c.5609G > A; p. (Arg1870Gln)) in a young female presenting with features of Snijders Blok‐Campeau syndrome including speech delay, autism spectrum disorder, learning difficulties, characteristic facial dysmorphisms, and a feature not previously described in this syndrome, idiopathic central precocious puberty. Her puberty was controlled with monthly injections of a GnRH analogue. Targeted exome sequencing was negative for genes known to be responsible for central precocious puberty. Our case raises the possibility that variants in CHD3 gene may also result in central precocious puberty. Strengthening this association could expand the phenotypic spectrum of the Snijders Blok‐Campeau syndrome and should be included in multigene panels for precocious puberty.
