We present two cases of a 13-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl who were initially diagnosed as central diabetes insipidus (CDI). The Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed pituitary stalk thickening with prominent homogeneous contrast enhancement in T1W and the loss of high signal in the posterior pituitary. In addition to CDI, the two children have a common clinical manifestation of growth retardation, with the laboratory tests suggesting complete growth hormone deficiency...

Objective: To summarize the clinical features and genetic characteristics of a patient with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B) and to review the literatures.Methods: We summarized clinical features, gene sequencing result, treatment and prognosis of a child suffered with MEN2B who was admitted to the Department of Pediatrics, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine in February 2016. And...

Objective: To summarize the clinical characteristics, genetics and follow-up data of five children with thyroid hormone resistance syndrome (RTH) and review the related literatures.Methods: The clinical data of the five children diagnosed with RTH in our hospital from 2018 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Next-generation sequencing of the candidate genes related to thyroid diseases was performed using the blood col...

Background: Defects of the insulin receptor gene (INSR) can cause genetic syndromes associated with a wide diverse range of congenital insulin resistance from milder insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus (Type A insulin resistance syndrome, TAIRS) to leprechaunism (Donahue syndrome). Clinical features in TAIRS vary due to the severity of damage in INSR, precise diagnosis is challenging.Materials and Methods</stron...
