Background: Nearly half of SRS epigenetic etiology is unknown. Effect of GH in SRS is not exact.Objective: To determine novel gene or imprinted gene associated with pathogenicity of Silver–Russell syndrome (SRS) through detection genome-wide methylation differences. To observe GH efficacy in SRS and the relationship between GH and epigenetic changes.Method: To detect genome-wide methylation site through the Illumina 450K methy...

Objective: To recognize Schimke immune-osseous dysplasia from a case of spinal epiphyseal dysplasia.Method: Summarize the characteristics of one case of Schimke immune-ossesous dysplasia, and increase awareness of this disease.Result: The patient, male, with non-consanguineous parents, was born on May 8, 2012. He was hospitalized in our hospital in January 2020 due to his short stature for more tha...

Background: Hepatoblastoma is the most common malignant pediatric hepatic tumor virtually confined to infants and young children. Accompanied by raised levels of alpha fetoprotein (AFP)，rarely, the beta human chorionic gonadotropin (β hCG) levels may also be elevated, which can cause male peripheral precocious puberty (PPP).Objective: To report a case of HB presented with PPP with elevated serum AFP, β h...

Introduction: Cushing's syndrome(CS) is rare in the pediatric population, and the cause vary with age. Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is one of the causes of CS, though it is a rare disorder. It has been proposed that in children with CS, PPNAD should be suspected. Here we report a young boy with CS due to PPNAD associated with a somatic mutation of the PRKACA.Case Presentation: The child w...

Objectives: To report a case of concomitance of diabetes mellitus, severe acanthosis nigricans, short stature in a 6-year boy.Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of a patient with diabetes, acanthosis nigricans and short stature followed at the Departments of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Children's Hospital of Fudan University. This rare case was undergoing whole exome sequencing....

Background: Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by obesity, short statue, hypotonia and hypogonadism. Delayed or incomplete puberty are usually found in PWS, whereas central precocious puberty is very rare.Objective: This study aimed to report the case of a boy with PWS who was diagnosed with precocious puberty during growth hormone replacement therapy.Methods...

Objective: To investigate the etiology and clinical features of Chinese children with PAI.Method: 427 children (age 0–18 years) with PAI followed at our institution between September 1989 and March 2016 were studied.Results: 1. 228 males and 199 female (1.14:1) were included. Median age at diagnosis was 1.66 (10th–90th, 0.06~8.73 yrs.2. An identified diagnosis(clinical or genetic) was obtained in 93...

Objectives: To explore the clinical value of common pathogenic gene detection in the diagnosis and treatment in hyperglycemia infants and children.Subjects and Methods: Subjects were in-patients with hyperglycemia, age of onset before 1 year-old, or insulin antibody negative and with family history of diabetes. Gene sequencing for ABCC8, KCNJ11, INS and GCK were performed and potential mutations were analyzed. The pati...

Objectives: To report a case of concomitance of diabetes mellitus, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly and lymphadenopathy in a 7-year girl.Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of a patient with multiple autoimmune diseases followed at the Departments of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. This rare case was undergoing whole exome sequencing.Results: This girl 2 year w...

Objectives: To summarize the diagnosis and treatment course of hyperkalemia in twins, review the diagnosis approach of hyperkalemia in neonate and guide clinical practice.Methods: The clinical manifestation, laboratory examination, the course of diagnosis and treatment of the two cases were summarized.Results: A pair of twin girls, 38 days after birth, came to our department because of ‘Hyperkalemia more than one month’. ...
