Background: X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is a rare disorder characterized by primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), with limited clinical and genetic characterization.Methods: The clinical, biochemical, genetic, therapeutic, and follow-up data of 42 patients diagnosed with X-linked AHC were retrospectively analysed.Results: Hyperp...

Background and objectives: Dyslipidemia especially hypercholesterolemia attracts much more attention recently. Given different management and treatment of multiple categories, precise diagnosis becomes increasingly important. However, studies in pediatric patients lacks around the world, especially in China. Consequently, this study was designed to confirm the molecular defect of persistent hypercholesterolemia with next-generation sequencing basing on a singl...

Object: To assess the efficacy and impact factors of treatment with GnRHa alone or in combination with rhGH in idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) or early and fast puberty (EFP) in Chinese girls.Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis on 20 years of data obtained from 11 medical centers from January 1998 to March 2017, and 393 girls with CPP (n=302) or EFP (n=91), who untreated or received GnRHa alone or in Combination w...

Objective: In boys during puberty who were undergoing recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment, we compared the therapeutic efficacy and any adverse reactions, of co-therapy with letrozole/gonadotropin releasing hormone analog (GnRHa).Methods: Fifty-six pubertal growth hormone deficiency (GHD) boys were studied, they were treated with the combination of letrozole and rhGH (letrozole group) or GnRHa and rhGH (GnR...

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:90 girls with CPP, EFP and premature thelarche (PT) were enrolled in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022, and 45 girls without healthy development were enrolled. General data, sex hormones, AMH, INHB levels and gonad ultras...

Background: Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity type 1(SEMD-JL1) is a rare entity with a recessive inheritance. It is one of the genetic skeletal disorders (GSD) and B3GALT6 loss-of-function mutations were found in individuals with SEMD-JL1 from several families. However, there was no case described in China.Case report: An 8-year-old boy presented to our hospital with short stature, hyperlaxity w...

Objective: To diagnose a 2-month old boy with micrognathia and proptosis.Method: We summarized the clinical manifestations of the patient. Blood tests and imaging examinations were performed. DNA was isolated from peripheral blood cells. Whole exosome sequencing (WES) was conducted. Copy number variation (CNV) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was analyzed by Affymetrix CytoScan.Result</stro...

Background: Mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome（MVA）is a rare genetic disease characterized by mosaic aneuploidies, intrauterine growth restriction, developmental delay, microcephaly, facial dysmorphism, mental retardation, and susceptibility to tumor. It is autosomal recessive and caused by mutations in BUB1B, CEP57, and TRIP13. This study hereby presents a 9-year-old girl with intrauterine growth restriction, short stature, microcephaly, faci...

Background: Congenital sodium diarrhea (CSD) is a monogenic disorder caused by specific genetic defects that increase sodium content in the stool, resulting in intractable diarrhea. There are two categories of CSD depending on whether it involves other congenital malformations: non-syndromic congenital sodium loss diarrhea (non-sCSD) and syndromic congenital sodium loss diarrhea (sCSD). For non- sCSD, the identified causative genes include SLC9A3 and GUCY2C, w...
