Objective To carry out cyto- and molecular genetic testing for a child featuring facial dysmorphism and attention deficit and hyperactive disorder. Methods The child was subjected to routine peripheral blood lymphocyte chromosomal karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP-array) analyses. Results The child's facial dysmorphism included low-set ears, curly ear auricle, protuberance of eyebrow arch, nostril notch, short and flat philtrum and thin upper lip. SNP-array revealed that he has carried a 4.883 Mb deletion at 2q37. His chromosomal karyotype was ultimately determined as 45, XY, der(2;21) (2pter→ 2q37.3::21p13→ 21p10::20p10→ 20pter), der(20) (21qter→ 21q10::20q10→ 20qter). Conclusion A rare case of 2q37 deletion syndrome involving three chromosomes was discovered. Combined use of various cyto- and molecular genetic techniques is crucial for the diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities with complex structures.
Objective To explore the genetic basis for a child with clinically suspected 3-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A carboxylase deficiency (MCCD). Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples of the proband and her parents. Whole exome sequencing was used to screen pathogenic variant in the proband. Suspected variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. Impact of the variant on the structure and function of protein product was analyzed by using bioinformatic software. Results Sanger sequencing showed that the proband has carried homozygous missense c.1342G>A (p.Gly448Ala) variant of the MCCC2 gene, for which her mother was a heterozygous carrier. The same variant was not detected in her father. The variant was predicted to be pathogenic by PolyPhen-2 and Mutation Taster software, and the site was highly conserved among various species. Based on the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics standards and guidelines, the c.1342G>A (p.Gly448Ala) variant of MCCC2 gene was predicted to be likely pathogenic(PM2+PP2-PP5). Conclusion The homozygous missense variant of the MCCC2 gene c.1342G>A (p.Gly448Ala) probably underlay the molecular pathogenesis of the proband. Genetic testing has confirmed the clinical diagnosis.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with a range of abnormalities pertaining to socialization, communication, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interests. Owing to its complexity, the etiology of ASD remains incompletely understood. The presynaptic G protein-coupled glutamate receptor metabotropic glutamate receptor 7 (mGluR7) is known to be essential for synaptic transmission and is also tightly linked with ASD incidence. Herein, we report that prefrontal cortex (PFC) mGluR7 protein levels were decreased in C57BL/6J mice exposed to valproic acid (VPA) and BTBR T+ Itpr3tf/J mice. The overexpression of mGluR7 in the PFC of these mice using a lentiviral vector was sufficient to reduce the severity of ASD-like behavioral patterns such that animals exhibited decreases in abnormal social interactions and communication, anxiety-like, and stereotyped/repetitive behaviors. Intriguingly, patch-clamp recordings revealed that the overexpression of mGluR7 suppressed neuronal excitability by inhibiting action potential discharge frequencies, together with enhanced action potential threshold and increased rheobase. These data offer a scientific basis for the additional study of mGluR7 as a promising therapeutic target in ASD and related neurodevelopmental disorders.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the genetic basis of a pedigree affected with peroneal muscular atrophy.METHODS:Neuroelectrophysiological examination and whole exome sequencing were carried out for the proband, a six-year-and-ten-month-old boy. Suspected variant was verified in his family members through Sanger sequencing. Bioinformatic analysis was carried to predict the conservation of amino acid sequence and impact of the variant on the protein structure and function.RESULTS:Electrophysiological examination showed demyelination and axonal changes of motor and sensory nerve fibers. A heterozygous missense c.1066A>G (p. Thr356Ala) variant was found in exon 11 of the MFN2 gene in the proband and his mother, but not in his sister and father. Bioinformatic analysis using PolyPhen-2 and Mutation Taster software predicted the variant to be pathogenic, and that the sequence of variation site was highly conserved among various species. Based no the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics standards and guidelines, the c.1066A>G (p. Thr356Ala) variant of MFN2 gene was predicted to be likely pathogenic (PS1+ PM2+ PP3+ PP4).CONCLUSION:The heterozygous missense c.1066A>G (p.Thr356Ala) variant of the MFN2 gene probably underlay the disease in the proband, and the results have enabled genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis for this family.

OBJECTIVE:To assess the value of detecting multiple rearrangements of MLL gene in children with acute mononuclear leukemia (AML).METHODS:Eighty six children with AML were analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), chromosomal karyotyping and multiplex reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR).RESULTS:Cross signals were detected by FISH in 26 cases, and 30.2% were detected with MLL gene rearrangements. R-band karyotyping analysis revealed 14 translocations with breakages involving 11q23 and 5 other aberrations, which yielded an overall detection rate of 22.1%. Multiple RT-PCR has detected 12 fusion genes produced by the MLL translocation, which yielded a detection rate of 14.0%. A significant difference was found in the detection rate of the three methods (P< 0.05).CONCLUSION:Combined use of FISH, chromosomal karyotyping and multiplex RT-PCR can improve the detection of MLL gene rearrangements and provide important clues for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of AML.
Objective A series of immunoserological tests were performed to identify irregu Lar antibodies and to identify the causes of the inconsistent results in blood typing. Methods Blood typing tests were performed by the tube method. To identify the types and properties of irregular antibodies, anti-human-globulin tests were conducted for the identification of irregular antibodies. Extra cross matching tests, antibody absorption tests and heat release tests (56℃) were conducted as well to further confirm the antibody status of the patient. Results The blood type of the patient was AB. In his serum, Ig G antiFyb antibody combined with anti-H antibody was detected, which led to the unconformity of forward and reverse typing. His serum was incompatible with type O red blood cells. Conclusion Type O red blood cells is necessary in reverse typing tests.Irregular antibody tests is required before transfusion to identify any non-ABO type antibodies. With positive results, the antibodies detected need to be carefully confirmed and avoid such antibodies in cross matching. Transfusion of type O red blood cells may not be proceed inadequate pre-transfusion tests to ensure transfusion safety.
Objective To detect immunoglobulins and C3 and C4 in children with hand-foot-mouth disease so as to evaluate the immune status of the patients. Methods One hundred and two cases of children with hand-foot-mouth disease, including 47 cases of mild manifestations 55 cases of severe manifestations and 30 cases of healthy children Serum IgA, IgG,IgM,C3,and C4 levels were examined.

IgA,C3,and C4 levels was lower than those of healthy children. Conclusion The immune status of children with hand-foot-mouth disease produced a remarkable immunity against the virus infection,which may help for the early diagnosis and clinical managements.

Rh血型系统是仅次于ABO系统的最具有临床意义的血型抗原,也是最复杂的遗传多态性血型系统之一[1]。母婴Rh系统血型不合是引起新生儿溶血病( hemolytic disease of newborn,HDN)的主要原因之一,对HDN患儿实施紧急换血治疗是一种行之有效的抢救手段。但由于Rh阴性血液稀缺,经常不能满足临床需要。2015年10月,在Rh(D)阴性红细胞无法满足的情况下,经告知患儿家长风险并取得患儿家长理解,在患儿家长签字同意下,使用ABO血型与患儿血型相同的Rh(D)阳性红细胞,对1例HDN患儿进行了换血治疗,取得了满意效果。现报告如下。
