Objective: To explore the clinical features and the genetic cause of a multiple malformation patient with short stature.Methods: The clinical data was collected in Beijing Children’s Hospital in November 2017. The disease-causing variant was identified using exome sequencing and confirmed with Sanger sequencing. Related literature was searched from Wanfang and Pubmed databases using the key word of ‘PORCN gene’ to identify the clinical fea...

Backgrounds: The treatment of diazoxide-unresponsive congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a big challenge in clinical practice. Octreotide is an off-lable medicine for CHI but widely used nowadays. However, the efficacy and adverse effects have been reported varied in centers.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the subcutaneous octreotide injection for diazoxide-unresponsive CHI in China.Subjects and methods: Diazoxide...

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...
