Objective: The aim of this study was to detect potential gene mutation of Noonan Syndrome in a Chinese family.Methods: Patient with clinical diagnosis and parents were analyzed in this study. The analysis included medical histories, clinical analysis, and genetic tests. The PTPN11, KRAS, SOS1, RAF1, NRAS, BRAF, RIT1, SOS2, LZTR1, SHOC2, CBL, NF1 gene was sequenced to identify the pathogenic mutation responsible for the development of Noonan Syndrome by P...

Objective: The aim of this study was to detect potential gene mutation of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Syndrome (IHH) in a Chinese family.Methods: Patient with clinical diagnosis and parents were analyzed in this study. The analysis included medical histories, clinical analysis, and genetic tests. A Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD) gene panel was applied to identify the pathogenic mutation responsible for the DSD and verified by Sanger.</...

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: Short stature can be caused by mutations in a multitude of different genes. Cockayne Syndrome is a rare growth disorder marked by progressive growth failure, neurologic abnormality. The current report describes a patient with severe short stature and neurologic abnormality.Methods: Patient with clinical diagnosis and parents were analyzed in this study. The analysis included medical histories, clinical analysis, and genetic tests. The gene wa...

Objective: To investigate the role of serum anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin-B (INHB) in central precocious puberty precocious puberty (CPP) and early and fast puberty (EFP).Methods: A total of 423 girls with CPP, EFP, premature thelarche (PT) and undeveloped healthy who were treated in our Hospital from October 2020 to December 2022 were collected. General data, sex hormones, AMH, INHB levels and gonad ultrasoun...

Objective: To retrospectively analyze the clinical data, laboratory examination, gene test results, diagnosis and treatment of a case of small gestational age, short stature and microcephaly in the department of Endocrinology, Genetics and Metabolism of Jiangxi Children's Hospital.Methods: The detailed clinical symptoms and family history of the children and their families were evaluated. 2ml peripheral blood of the...

The DHX37 gene has been identified to cause 46, XY disorders of sex development (DSD), yet there are no reports in China. Here, we report a Chinese pediatric case of 46, XY DSD identified by Whole-exome sequencing which carried a heterozygous missense mutation c.2020 C > T (P.R674 W) in DHX37 gene (NM _ 032656) inherited from the mother. Gonadal pathology showed that the left gonad was structured with a vas deferens and epididymal duct, and the right gonad had vas deferens,...

An increased iron overload led to a disorder in glucose metabolism. However, the mechanism through which iron overload induces beta cell death remains unknown. The present study revealed that ferric ammonium citrate treatment inhibited cell viability in vitro, induced a decline in mitochondrial membrane potential, increased oxidative stress and activated mitophagy. These effects could be alleviated by a reactive oxygen species scavenger. In summary, we demonstrated th...

Objective: To identify genetic mutations of a pedigree affected by severe short stature in Chinese populations for the first time.Methods: Auxological and endocrinological profiles were measured. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) analyses comprising 277 shorted stature-associated candidate genes and 19 related copy number variation (CNV) regions were used to identify gene mutations in the proband. Three web-based software programs (SIFT, PolyPhen...

Background: Accumulated evidence indicates that the GH-IGF-1 pathway might be one of the crucial mechanisms of ISS. Insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is the effector molecule that regulates the cascade reaction of hormone receptors in the GH–IGF-1 axis.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the role of IGF-1R gene polymorphisms with regard to susceptibility to Idiopathic short stature risk in the Chinese population of Jiangxi area.</p...
