Kallmann syndrome (KS) is a rare heterogeneous disease with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and anosmia or hyposmia. The aim of this study is to highlight the clinical features and diagnosis of this rare event by reporting a 13-year-old Chinese boy with a novel mutation of CHD7. He presented because of short stature (−2.0 SD) for 11 years. He was born at term with a birth weight of 2.95 kg. Cryptorchidism operation was undertaken at 5 years old. He suffered from a...

Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is an ultra-rare disease characterized by excessive insulin secretion that results in persistent hypoglycemia. If left untreated, CHI-induced severe prolonged hypoglycemia may lead to permanent neurologic damage. Currently used pharmacologic agents fail to prevent hypoglycemia in a subset of patients with CHI. HM15136 is a novel long-acting glucagon analogue that have demonstrated good stability and extended half-life ranging from 77 to 167 hou...

Objective: Studies on 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency (5α-RD) are limited and the genotype-phenotype correlation has not been elucidated. The aim of the study was to analyze clinical and molecular characteristics, genotype-phenotype correlation in a large Chinese 5α-RD cohort.Design: Database registration study.Method: We analyzed clinical and genetic data of gene con...

Background: Thalassaemia patients are at risk of developing diabetes mellitus (DM) and pre-diabetes status predominantly due to iron overloading. The prevalence is 20–30% in adult patients. Age, serum ferritin, T2* magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart and pancreas volume has been found to be associated with DM.
