Objective: To know more about the etiology and mechanism of antibody-negative diabetes, screening MODY pathogenicity genes and deepening understanding of islet autoantibody-negative diabetes, so as to individualized precision treatment.Methods: A total of 31 subjects with diabetes who had negative islet autoantibodies and C-peptide ≥0.3 ng/ml were collected. Another group was the type 1 diabetes control group, After informed consent obtained patien...

Objective: To screen and identify serum differentially expressed proteins in girls with rapidly progressing central precocious puberty and healthy girls by proteomics. Methods: 15 idiopathic central precocious puberty girls and 15 healthy children were admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Suzhou University from August 2017 to October 2018.After mixing in the group, the high-abundance protein was removed and quantified ...

Objective: To enhance the detection, management and monitoring of Chinese children afflicted with sitosterolemia by examining the physical characteristics and genetic makeup of pediatric patients.Methods: In this group, 26 children were diagnosed with sitosterolemia, 24 of whom underwent genetic analysis. Patient family medical history, physical symptoms, tests for liver function, lipid levels, standard blood tests, phyt...

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...

Background: A patient with both Prader-Willi syndrome and mosaic Turner syndrome is extremely rare. We performed fMRI and euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp test for her.Case presentation: A 17-yr-old girl was diagnosed as Prader-Willi syndrome by her clinical investigations including poor feeding in infancy, hyperphagia, developmental delay, mental disorders, behavior problems, thin upper lip, almond-shaped eyes, acromicria and genital hypoplasia. Mate...

Antibodies to GAD-65 have been associated to type 1 diabetes and different neurological disorders, however these diseases rarely occur concurrently. In this report, we present a rare pediatric case of concurrent GAD-65 antibody positive autoimmune encephalitis and type III autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome (coexisting with autoimmune thyroid disease and type 1 DM). A 7-year-old Chinese female patient presented with a 2-month history of idiopathic seizures. Laboratory tests rev...

Objective: This study aim ed to report four Chinese patients due to FBN1 mutations including one with geleophysic dysplasia (GD) and three with acromicric dysplasia (AD), and analyze the clinical and genetic features of all Chinese patients.Methods: The clinical features, laboratory tests and gene mutations of four Chinese patients with GD and AD were reported, and literatures were reviewed to analyze the clinic...

Background: 5α - reductase type 2 deficiency (5αRD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease which has an incidence of 11.2%–15.5% among population with 46, XY DSD (disorders of sex development).Objective: To study the growth pattern in Chinese pediatric patients with 5αRD.Subjects: Data were from 187 patients with 5αRD (age from 0–16 years old,with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in ...

This study aim ed to screen pediatric patients with clinically diagnosed pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP), pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP), and progressive osseous heteroplasia (POH) for genetic and epigenetic defects in GNAS and to assess their clinical features. A total 87 patients from 8 medical centers in China were included in this study, and 70 patients underwent analysis of GNAS by next-generation sequencing and methylation-specific multiple ligati...

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...
