Background: The Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) enzyme plays a central role in glucose homeostasis by catalyzing the inter-conversion of glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate. Recently, PGM1 deficiency was recognized to cause the congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs). PGM1 deficiency is a rare, autosomal recessive inherited disease which can cause the extreme variability of clinical symptoms multi-organ dysfunction, including ketotic hypoglycemia, dilated cardiomyopat...

Background: Noonan syndrome (NS) is generally considered an autosomal dominant, multisystemic disorder caused by dysregulation of the RAS/mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The latest research confirmed the existence of a form of Noonan syndrome that is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and identify biallelic mutations in LZTR1. In this study, we diagnosed 55 Chinese NS Children via targeted sequencing or whole exome sequencing (TS/WES).<p ...

Background: Noonan syndrome (NS) is a common autosomal dominant/recessive disorder. No large-scale study has been conducted on NS in China, which is the most populous country in the world.Methods: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to identify pathogenic variants in patients that exhibited NS-related phenotypes. We assessed the facial features and clinical manifestations of patients with pathogenic or likely patho...

Context: Diagnosis of non-chromosomal type disorders of sex development (DSD) has long been challenging. There is still no research on overview of a large Chinese DSD cohort.Objective: To determine the etiologic diagnosis through unbiased large-scale panel sequencing and whole-exome sequencing (WES) within a large Chinese DSD cohort.Design: Patients were recruited according to the ...
