Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a complex genetic disorder caused by lack of expression of paternally inherited imprinted genes on Chr15q11-q13. rhGH has beneficial effects on growth, body composition and development. Starting age, dose titration and monitoring remain controversial.Objective: To study retrospectively children who presented in our multidisciplinary PWS clinic and assess response to rhGH treatment, auxology, IGF1 concentration a...

Analysis of Phenotype and HRAS Gene Mutation in a Chinses Girl with Costello Syndrome

Zhang Lina , Liang Liyang , Meng Zhe , Ou Hui , Hou Lele , Liu Zulin

Background: Costello syndrome is a rare congenital disorder with characteristic findings involving multiple organ systems. The Costello Syndrome Family Network estimates that the birth prevalence in the United Kingdom is at least 1/500,000. So far, there has been only one affected individual reported in China.Objective and hypotheses: Diagnose the case of autosomal dominant Costello syndrome by direct squencing of HRAS gene. Analyze the correlation betwe...

Test on Kisspeptin Levels in Girls with Idiopathic Central Precocious Puberty and its Significance

Yang Yu , Xiong Xiang-Yu , Yang Li , Xie Li-Ling , Huang Hui

Objective: This paper is aimed to explore the significance of plasma kisspeptin level in diagnosis and therapeutic evaluation through the detection of kisspeption level of girls diagnosed with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) before treatment and after 6-months of treatment and girls with simple premature thelarche (PT).Methods: A total of 70 girls including 24 girls diagnosed with ICPP, 21 girls with PT and 25 normal girls were enrolled. ELI...

Capillary blood sample collection at home for HbA1c measurements during the COVID-19 pandemic in children with diabetes mellitus

Qian Hui Lim Rachel , Gireesh Bhat Nikita , Begum Rojina , Shah Pratik Hasmukh , Ayling Ruth , Gevers Evelien ,

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in rapid implementation of tele-clinics; patients have frequently missed routine point-of-care HbA1c testing, vital for evaluating long-term glycaemic control. We evaluated the feasibility of remote HbA1c monitoring via self-collection of capillary blood samples at home, and examined clinical characteristics associated with engagement with this system.Methods: Bio-Rad Haemog...

Health Outcome Indicators in Children with Diabetes Mellitus during the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic

Gireesh Bhat Nikita , Hui Lim Rachel Qian , Hasmukh Shah Pratik , Gevers Evelien , Nash Elizabeth , Patel Nishal ,

Objectives: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has resulted in major cutbacks in service provision to patients. This could be detrimental to children with diabetes mellitus (DM), whose condition could deteriorate from poor access to healthcare. The lockdown has also potentially caused changes in diet, sedentary behavior and psychological burden due to the stress associated with the pandemic, which can have negative effects on glycemic control. Thus, this study compares c...

Association between serum uric acid and blood pressure in children and adolescents: A systematic review-meta regression

Beng Hui Ng Nicholas , Han Luke , Tan Rachel , Ven Yap Qai , Huak Chan Yiong

Background: Hyperuricaemia has been associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome in adults and children. Elevation in serum uric acid (SUA) is hypothesized to be a critical initiator of the development of essential hypertension. The exact relationship between SUA and blood pressure (BP) has not been established in the pediatric population. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the association between SUA and BP in well, obese/overweight and hype...

The Phenotypic Spectrum of Kabuki Syndrome in Patients of Chinese Descent

Wang Yirou , Li Niu , Su Zhe , Xu Yufei , Liu Shijian , Chen Yao , Li Xin , Shen Yiping , Wang Jian , Wang Xiumin , Bodamer Olaf

Background: Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare dominant disorder of transcriptional regulation with a complex phenotype including cranio-facial dysmorphism, intellectual disability, developmental delay, hypotonia, failure to thrive, short stature and variable cardiac and renal anomalies. Mutations in either KMT2D or KDM6A cause KS. While the phenotype of KS has been reported in many ethnicities, little is known about the phenotypic spectrum of KS...
