Background: We investigate the efficacy and safety of two different treatments which have not been evaluated in peri-puberty boys with HH.Objective and hypotheses: To assess the effectiveness and safety of pulsatile GnRH or hCG treatment in adolescent boys with hypogonadotropic hypogonadodism.Method: 12 patients received 8–10 μg of GnRH, subcutaneously injected every 90 min using a pump. Another 22 patients received hCG, ...

Purpose: The causes of obesity is so much that the pandemic spread the global. The inherited factors have a profound effect on body fat mass, as well as the environmental factors. Out of these, the foremost is genetic factors that tend to early childhood obesity. The consensus recommended that genetic testing is necessary for serious early onset obesity to identify the pathogenic genes of inherited obesity. In order to improve the positive rate of genetic test...

Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is characteristic of multiple skeletal anomalies comprising craniofacial anomalies/dysplasia, microcephaly, dysplastic ears, choanal atresia and short stature. Loss of function mutations of EFTUD2 were previously reported in MFDM, however, the mechanism underlying EFTUD2-associated skeletal dysplasia remains unclear. Here, we identified a novel frameshift mutation of EFTUD2 in a MFDM Chinese patient...

Background: Defects of the insulin receptor gene (INSR) can cause genetic syndromes associated with a wide diverse range of congenital insulin resistance from milder insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus (Type A insulin resistance syndrome, TAIRS) to leprechaunism (Donahue syndrome). Clinical features in TAIRS vary due to the severity of damage in INSR, precise diagnosis is challenging.Materials and Methods</stron...

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: Urine phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are one of estrogen-mimetic EDCs. Many studies have suggested that urinary phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are closely related to central precocious puberty (CPP) and isolated premature thelarche (IPT), but there is no study between urinary PAEs and the progression of IPT. This study is to explore the influence of PAEs on the progression of IPT to CPP or early puberty (EP).Methods:</strong...

Objectives: Somatrogon is a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone (GH) approved by the EMA as a once weekly treatment for children with GH deficiency (GHD). The peak stimulated GH cut-off value for diagnostic criteria for GHD varies according to country-specific guidelines. The objective of this subgroup analysis of the pivotal phase 3 somatrogon study was to evaluate the primary and secondary efficacy endpoints for subjects with a peak GH value <6.7...

Objectives: Somatrogon is a long-acting recombinant human growth hormone (GH) approved by the EMA as a once weekly treatment for children with pediatric GH deficiency (GHD). A global phase 3 study compared the efficacy and safety of once-weekly somatrogon with once-daily Genotropin in pediatric subjects with GHD. The objective of this subgroup analysis was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of once-weekly somatrogon vs once-daily Genotropin in the subset of A...

Objective: To investigate the clinical and molecular characteristics of a girl with aldosterone synthase deficiency type II (ASDII). We also identified the consequences of a novel splice site mutation in the CYP11B2 gene.Materials and Methods: A4-month-old girl presented with vomiting, diarrhea, and failure to thrive. Her 17α-OHP, cortisol, renin, and aldosterone were all in the normal range, and the ACTH stimulatio...
