Background: Thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome(TRMA) is a rare disease characterized by diabetes mellitus, megaloblastic anemia and sensorineural hearing loss. The disease can be accompanied by attack of stroke, which are rarely reported. To analyze the clinical characteristics of a case of thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia with attack of stroke in our hospital and review the related literature of this syndrome in order to improve the dia...

Background: We want to know the clinical presentation and genetic mutation of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) patients in our country.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the clinical outcomes and gene mutations related to CHI in our patients.Method: We studied the therapeutic outcomes of 95 cases of CHI and analyzed the associations between gene mutations and clinical features in 55 cases.Results: Among...

Objective: Evaluation the clinical efficacy of autologous hematopoietie stem cell transplantation and traditional insulin therapy.Methods: This is a case–control study. The subject investigated were diagnosed primary childhood type 1 diabetes in Beijing Children’s Hospital Endocrinology Centre, and there are 14 cases did the immune intervention combined with autologous hematopoietie stem cell transplantation in other hospital during the first 3...

Objective: To study the clinical features and gene mutations of neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) in Chinese patients.Methods: Patients with clinically diagnosed NDM were subjected to genetic screening by targeted gene capture of the genes associated with glucose metabolism, and followed up.Results: Of the 23 cases of NDM studied, 16 (69.6%) were permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus (PNDM), 6 (26.1%) were transient neonatal diabetes...

Background: Vitamin D-dependent rickets type 3 (VDDR3) is a rare autosomal dominant inheritance disease, which is caused by the gain-of-function mutation in CYP3A4 (c.902T>C p.Ile301Thr).Case Presentation: We report the case of a 32-month-old boy presented with discomfort of both knee-joints, poor mobility, and gait abnormality when running. Laboratory examinations revealed low concentrations of serum calcium, phospho...

Background: Fulminant type 1 diabetes (FT1D) is presented as a severe diabetes subtype among adults, however, we have no idea whether it’s worth being taken seriously among children and adolescents.Objective and hypotheses: We aim to clarify the clinical significance of the subtype. It’s supposed that we may needn’t pay special attention to the subtype.Method: Case–control study design. Data from hospitalized al...

Objective: The aim of this study was to detect potential gene mutation of Methylmalonic acidemia (MAA) in a Chinese patient.Methods: Patient with clinical diagnosis and parents were analyzed in this study. The analysis included medical histories, clinical analysis, and genetic tests. A NGS panel include MUT,MMAA,MMAB,MMADHC and MCEE genes was identify the pathogenic mutation responsible for the MAA and verified by Sanger.Results: A...

Background: Hypoglycemia triggers the secretion of counter-regulatory hormones such as cortisol, GH, and glucagon, all of which are protective mechanisms to restore euglycemia. It has been suggested that CHI patients have abnormal glucagon secretion during hypoglycemia, but the data is limited.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the secretion of counter-regulatory hormones including glucagon during hypoglycemia. It’s supposed that these hormone...

Background: The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is significantly associated with the presence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and is a reliable insulin resistance (IR) surrogate marker. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) has been commonly used to reflect liver inflammation and liver damage in patients with chronic liver diseases, including NAFLD. Transient elastography (TE) uses pulsed echo ultrasound to measure the hardness of the liver, showing exce...

Introduction: C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP, NPPC gene) and its receptor, natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B, NPR2 gene), is critical for endochondral ossification in growth plate. Biallelic NPR2 mutations are known as acromesomelic dysplasia, type Maroteaux which is characterized by severe short stature. A monoallelic NPR2 mutation has been suggested to mildly impair long bone growth.Obje...
