We report on a 6.5-year-old girl with a balanced translocation between the short arms of chromosomes 1 and 6. She was referred for genetics evaluation because of developmental speech delay and congenital absence of several deciduous and permanent teeth. She was very sensitive to noise (hyperacusis),
The extremely poor prognosis of patients with metastatic osteosarcoma indicates the need for novel therapeutic approaches. Ectodysplasin-A2 (EDA-A2) is a recently isolated member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily that binds to X-linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor (XEDAR). In this report, we
This paper summarizes the clinical features, causative genes and treatment progress of patients with rickets-like genetic diseases, including X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets (XLH), hypophosphatasia, achondroplasia, vitamin D-dependent rickets, pycnodysostosis and ectodermal dysplasia, who visited
Oral mucosa epithelial stem cells from a patient affected by Ectrodactyly-Ectodermal dysplasia-Clefting (EEC) syndrome carrying the R279H mutation in the TP63 gene were reprogrammed into human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) with episomal vectors. The generated UNIPDi003-A-hPSC line retained
A 6-year-old girl with cerebral palsy developed conscious disturbance and generalized convulsion after one-hour hot herb drug bath. Physical examination on admission revealed rectal temperature 41 degrees C, hot skin, respiration 46/min, regular heart beat 98/min, BP 130/60 mmHg, Glascow coma scale
Athelia is a very rare entity that is defined by the absence of the nipple-areola complex. It can affect either sex and is mostly part of syndromes including other congenital or ectodermal anomalies, such as limb-mammary syndrome, scalp-ear-nipple syndrome, or ectodermal dysplasias. Here, we report
BACKGROUND
Subcutaneous recombinant human parathormone [rhPTH (1-34)] has been introduced for hypoparathyroidism treatment, allowing avoidance of vitamin D and calcium side effects.
OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to evaluate rhPTH (1-34) safety and efficacy in pediatric patients with genetically proved
Hypoparathyroidism is characterized by the absence or inadequately low circulating concentrations of the parathyroid hormone, resulting in hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and elevated fractional excretion of calcium in the urine. The use of activated vitamin D analogs and calcium
