Objective: Clinical Observation of fifty-two patients with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency (5 - alpha-reductasedeficiency, 5α-RD) with oral testosterone undecanoate. To evaluate the efficacy and drug safety, find the optimum age of medication.Methods: Prospective self-controlled comparison methods were used to analyze the clinical data and follow-up results in sixty-nine patients who are diagnosed with 5-alpha-reductas...

Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a relatively rare cause for short stature resulting from insufficient secretion of growth hormone (GH). With complicated etiology, GHD can coexist in numerous syndromes or disorders such as Turner Syndrome. So, it is necessary to take genetic analysis to patients with GHD especially those perform various phenotypes. A 9.5 years old boy complained of short stature was diagnosed with GHD by height velocity (HV) <5 cm/year, delayed bone age ...

Objective: To report a case girl with 45X/47XXX mosaic Turner syndrome exhibiting a progressive puberty.Design: Case reportResult: A 9 years 4 months old girl was presented with growth retardation. Chromosome analysis revealed a mosaic karyotype 45X/47XXX. She presented with normal height but much lower than the mid-parental height. During annual check-ups, her growth rate was acce...

Context: We investigate the efficacy and safetyof non-inferiority clinical trial for human chorionic gonadotropin/ human menopaousal gonadotropin (HCG/HMG) versus pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which have not been evaluated in puberty boys with CHH.Objective: To compare the efficacy and security of two different treatments in male adolescent patient with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH).Methods: For t...

Background: Data on the effect of cryptorchidism on hormones of androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) and 5alpha-reductase type 2 deficiency (5α-RD2) are still limited.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 47 patients with AIS and 79 with 5α-RD2 to investigate the effect of cryptorchidism on hormone levels.Results: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in the AIS gro...

Objective: Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY)5 is a type of monogenic diabetes. Primary autosomal recessive microcephaly (MCPH)3 is a rare microcephaly caused by depletion of neuronal progenitor cells characterized by mostly normal brain structure, mental retardation, and premature closure of the frontal cranial suture. To report a case of MODY5 combined with MCPH3, in order to increase the clinical attention to this disease.<st...

The patient was a Chinese girl who born 40 weeks of gestation by caesarean section. Her birth weight was 2900g (10th–25th centile), birth length was 48cm (10th– 25thcentile). Both parents are in good health. The family history was unremarkable. She was first admitted to our hospital because of seizure afebrile at 6 months old. She presented discontinues generalized tonic-clonic seizures for 3~5minutes several times, it seemed that these onsets were not associate...

Background: Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is an autosomal recessive diseases.Objective and hypotheses: To explore the characterization of ATP8B1, ABCB11 and ABCB4 gene mutational spectrum in children from South China.Method: By using PCR combined with direct DNA sequencing for 32 patients.Results: Six patients were diagnosed as PFIC.Conclusion: Six novel mutations...

Objectives: X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) is a rare, hereditary phosphate-wasting disorder characterised by excessive activity of fibroblast growth factor 23. The International XLH Registry (NCT03193476) (initiated in August 2017, target 1,200 children and adults with XLH, running for 10 years) will provide information on the natural history of XLH and impact of treatment on patient outcomes. This report summarises baseline data from the first interim analy...

Background: Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NC-CAH) is caused by pathogenic variants of the CYP21A2 gene, and in most cases is not associated with cortisol deficiency as is the classic (severe) form. The majority of children with NC-CAH are asymptomatic and do not require cortisol replacement therapy with hydrocortisone unless they develop symptoms of hyperandrogenemia such as early pubarche, growth acceleration, advanced bone age, and ultimately s...
