Introduction: MKRN3, kisspeptin and IGF-1 maybe involved into the initiation of puberty. The aim of our research is to evaluate the differences of serum IGF-1, MKRN3 and kisspeptin in girls with central precocious puberty, rapidly progressive puberty, premature thelarche and controls, and further assess the value of IGF-1 in puberty initiation.Methods: The patients enrolled in the study were divided into four groups: central precocious puberty (CPP), rap...

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...

Objective: The aim of this study was to detect potential gene mutation of idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism Syndrome (IHH) 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. A Disorder of Sexual Development (DSD) gene panel was applied to identify the pathogenic mutation responsible for the DSD and verified by Sanger.</...

Background: Simple obese is a worldwide public health problem. Recent studies suggested a possible relationship between obese and vitamin D deficiency.Objective and hypotheses: To discuss the relationship between 25-Hdroxyvitamin D with glucose and lipid metabolism of simple obese in Chinese children.Method: 65 children with obeses (35 mild-to-moderate, 50 severe) and sixty-two children with normal weight were enrolled in this tria...

Objective: To explore the correlation of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and Total Testosterone (TT) with the development of Metabolic syndrome (MetS) in obese boys. To explore the relationship between components of MetS and TT levels in boys.Methods: A total of 439 boys aged 6-18 years old from April 2020 to February 2023, include boys who visited the Department of Endocrinology, Genetics and Metabolism in Jiangxi P...

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...

Purpose: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is a state in which thyroid hormones are insufficient at birth. This condition may last for a lifetime or may be transient. Due to the universal newborn screening test, almost all newborns are being screened for thyroid function in Korea. The study was aimed to see the predictors of transient congenital hypothyroidism with long-term follow-up of more than 3 years of CH in a single tertiary center.<...

Background: Obesity in children and adolescents has become an increasing clinical and public health concern. It was reported that obesity is positively associated with sexual maturation in both boys and girls in China. However, the effect of obesity on pubertal development is incompletely elucidated.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate the fat mass and body composition by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in Chinese precocious puberty girls, and t...

The DHX37 gene has been identified to cause 46, XY disorders of sex development (DSD), yet there are no reports in China. Here, we report a Chinese pediatric case of 46, XY DSD identified by Whole-exome sequencing which carried a heterozygous missense mutation c.2020 C > T (P.R674 W) in DHX37 gene (NM _ 032656) inherited from the mother. Gonadal pathology showed that the left gonad was structured with a vas deferens and epididymal duct, and the right gonad had vas deferens,...

Case study: Baby A, a boy was delivered at 33 weeks gestation (birth weight 1.545 kg, 9th centile) by emergency caesarean section following maternal preeclampsia. He did not require any resuscitation at birth. He is the second baby of non-consanguineous Asian parents with no family history to note. Both parents are healthy and there was no history of maternal medication use. Baby A experienced respiratory distress syndrome and suspected sepsis. He developed a heart murmur, con...
