UNASSIGNED: Rhabdomyosarcoma of the bladder is an infrequent neoplastic condition characterized by a pronounced malignant situation with challenges in treatment due to the lack of standardized guidelines and large-scale of clinical studies. The patient in this case is tested TP53 mutation that may provide new diagnostic and therapeutic options.
UNASSIGNED: Here, we reported a 34-year-old male who received bladder tumor resection, and diagnosed as bladder rhabdomyosarcoma with TP53 mutation after the pathology test. This patient underwent 6 rounds of chemotherapy. However, the pelvic tumor recurred 11 months after the first surgery. So, the patient accepted the pelvic tumor resection. Only 3 months after the surgical intervention, the patient underwent abdominal massive metastasis and ultimately succumbed to the illness six months following the second surgery. The course of the illness was 22 months.
UNASSIGNED: Bladder rhabdomyosarcoma is a disease with an extremely poor prognosis. Genetic testing holds significant value in the diagnosis and treatment. Perhaps targeted therapy against TP53 is potential valuable for such rare diseases.

Myeloid sarcoma (MS) occurs in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In rare cases, MS can represent a form of blast transformation in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), or MDS/MPN. The most frequent chromosomal alterations in MS are t(8;21) or inv(16), with other alterations being reported. Cases of MS in Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)-positive MDS with fibrosis are exceedingly rare. Here, we describe such a case. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a JAK2 V617F mutation-positive MDS case occurring concurrently with MS involving the posterior aspect of the left seventh rib. No clear association has been previously demonstrated between the intramedullary AML cytogenetics and extramedullary disease occurrence. Interestingly, samples from the intramedullary MDS and extramedullary mass in this patient presented the same JAK2 V617F mutation. Following a treatment regimen of azacitidine and venetoclax, the patient achieved complete remission. The chest CT scan showed that the seventh posterior rib mass disappeared. This case provides valuable information for the potential future treatment of this disease.

UNASSIGNED: Carney complex is a rare autosomal dominant syndrome that has been shown to be associated with inactivation due to PRKAR1A mutations. We revealed a novel PRKAR1A gene mutation in Chinese patient with Carney complex and review the literature to enhance understanding of Carney complex.
UNASSIGNED: A 23-year-old Chinese male patient with a family history cardiac myxoma was admitted to our Department of Endocrinology because of central obesity and hyperpigmentation. Physical examination revealed a maximum blood pressure of 150/93mmHg, a waist circumference of 102cm, a weight of 70kg, a height of 170cm, and a BMI of 24.22kg/m2. Additionally, there was spotty skin pigmentation on the lip mucosa, purple striae on the abdomen, thin skin on both legs, and visible veins. Blood examination revealed hypercortisolemia, decreased adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) levels and failure to suppress cortisol with low and high-dose dexamethasone suppression tests. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan revealed multiple small adrenal nodules and Retroperitoneal neurogenic tumor. Genetic testing showed a novel heterozygous mutation in exon 5 of PRKAR1A (c.500_502 + 8delAAGGTAAGGGC). The patient underwent resection of the right adrenal gland and retroperitoneal neoplasms in 2020. Postoperative pathology following the right adrenal gland resection showed nodular hyperplasia of the adrenal cortex. The pathology from the retroperitoneal tumor resection revealed spindle cell tumors rich in pigment and cells. The patient was diagnosed as Carney complex according to Stratakis CA in 2001 guidelines. After long-term follow-up, the patient\'s condition was stable, with weight loss, waist circumference reduction, significantly lower cortisol levels, and normal blood lipids.
UNASSIGNED: This case reported a Carney complex in a Chinese patient, characterized clinically by non-ACTH-dependent Cushing\'s syndrome, familial recurrent cardiac myxomas, psammomatous melanotic schwannoma (PMS) and skin and mucosal pigmentation. A novel subtype of PRKAR1A mutation was discovered, which may affect the characteristics of the PRKAR1A protein and contribute to the development of Carney complex.

BACKGROUND: With recent advances in gene sequencing technology, more than 60 genetic mutations associated with very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) have been reported. Most of the genes are associated with immune deficiencies. The Myosin 5B (MYO5B) gene is primarily involved in cell motility and material transport which is associated with congenital intractable diarrhea and cholestasis. No studies have examined the relationship between the MYO5B gene and VEO-IBD. We report a case of a child with a mutation in the MYO5B gene who was diagnosed with VEO-IBD, then we investigated the association between the MYO5B gene and VEO-IBD.
METHODS: A 7-month-old baby girl with a chief complaint of \"blood in the stool for more than 4 months and vaginal pus and blood discharge for 3 weeks\" was diagnosed with VEO-IBD, and her symptoms improved after treatment with mesalazine. The whole-exome sequencing was performed with peripheral blood. Immunohistochemistry was performed on the terminal ileal tissue. Western blotting, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) and immunofluorescence were performed with cultured organoid tissue from the terminal ileum. Whole-exome sequencing identified heterozygous missense of MYO5B variant of unknown significance (p. [I769N]; [T1546M]). Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant decrease in the expression of MYO5B protein in the terminal ileum of the child with MYO5B mutation; Q-PCR revealed a decrease in the mRNA levels of occludin and ZO-1 and both the mRNA levels and protein levels of MYO5B was downregulated in the patient. Immunofluorescence images showed that MYO5B gene mutation disrupted the apical delivery of transporters SGLT1, NHE3 and AQP7.
CONCLUSIONS: MYO5B gene mutation leading to the downregulation of MYO5B protein may promote the occurrence of VEO-IBD by decreasing mRNA and protein levels of intestinal tight junction genes and dislocating the apical transporters.

Hemochromatosis, also known as siderosis, is a disease caused by excessive iron deposition in human organs and tissues, resulting from iron metabolism disorders. It is clinically characterized by skin pigmentation (bronze color), liver cirrhosis, diabetes, weakness, and fatigue. Additional symptoms may include arthritis, hypothyroidism, heart failure, and sexual hypofunction. Clinical manifestations can vary from person to person, with a few patients showing no clinical manifestations, which makes the diagnosis difficult for clinicians. In this case report, we described hereditary hemochromatosis related to a mutation in the HAMP gene in Fuyang City, China, as a reference for clinicians. Hereditary hemochromatosis is rarely reported in China. Clinicians in China have relatively insufficient knowledge of this disease, which leads to frequent misdiagnosis. In this case report, we describe hereditary hemochromatosis related to HAMP gene mutation in Fuyang City, China, for the clinician\'s reference.

BACKGROUND: This study presents the clinical and genetic mutation characteristics of an unusual case of adult-onset diabetes mellitus occurring in adolescence, featuring a unique mutation in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) gene. Data Access Statement: Research data supporting this publication are available from the NN repository at www.NNN.org/download/.
METHODS: The methodology employed entailed meticulous collection of comprehensive clinical data from the probands and their respective family members. Additionally, high-throughput sequencing was conducted to analyze the PPARG genes of the patient, her siblings, and their offspring. The results of this investigation revealed that the patient initially exhibited elevated blood glucose levels during pregnancy, accompanied by insulin resistance and hypertriglyceridemia. Furthermore, these strains displayed increased susceptibility to diabetic kidney disease without any discernible aggregation patterns. The results from the gene detection process demonstrated a heterozygous mutation of guanine (G) at position 284 in the coding region of exon 2 of PPARG, which replaced the base adenine (A) (exon2c.284A>Gp.Tyr95Cys). This missense mutation resulted in the substitution of tyrosine with cysteine at the 95th position of the translated protein. Notably, both of her siblings harbored a nucleotide heterozygous variation at the same site, and both were diagnosed with diabetes.
CONCLUSIONS: The PPARG gene mutation, particularly the p.Tyr95Cys mutation, may represent a newly identified subtype of maturity-onset diabetes of the young. This subtype is characterized by insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disorders.

UNASSIGNED: Idiopathic congenital nystagmus (ICN) is an inherited disorder characterized by uncontrollable binocular conjugating oscillation. X-linked idiopathic congenital nystagmus is one of the most prevalent types of ICN. Elucidation of the genetic mechanisms involved in ICN will enhance our understanding of its molecular etiology.
UNASSIGNED: We report a girl with uncontrollable binocular oscillation and anomalous head posture, then presented a novel heterozygous missense variant (c.686G>T) within the mutation-rich region of the FERM domain containing 7 (FRMD7) gene in her family member. The girl received occlusion therapy and surgical operation which balanced her binocular vision and corrected the anomalous head posture.
UNASSIGNED: This is the first report on a mutation (c.686G>T) caused the substitution of Arg (R) with Leu (L) at position 229 (p.R229L) of the FRMD7 protein in a patient with ICN.

Infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH) is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder, which is characterized by a systemic build-up of hyaline material that causes extensive tissue destruction and functional impairment. The signs of this debilitating illness, which can involve organs, skin anomalies, and joint contractures, frequently appear in infancy. The paucity of available research on ISH emphasizes the need for all-encompassing management approaches to address the wide range of symptoms and enhance the overall quality of life for impacted babies. The interdisciplinary approach to ISH highlights the need for physiotherapy as a crucial element, with an emphasis on addressing the motor and developmental problems linked to the illness. Improving mobility and functional independence in newborns with ISH is facilitated by therapeutic exercises designed specifically for their needs. Here, we present a case of a six-month-old male child who visited a tertiary care center with complaints of minimal movements of all four limbs since birth with the inability to hold the neck. On examination, it was found that there were low-set ears with popular rashes and contractures over distal joints. Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) were done, which had abnormal findings suggestive of myopathy. On skin biopsy, it was confirmed that the child was suffering from ISH. Thus, the patient was referred to a physiotherapist. After six weeks of physiotherapy sessions, it was found that early and consistent physiotherapy interventions have been linked to a decrease in joint stiffness-related pain and discomfort, improving the affected infants\' general comfort. Furthermore, physiotherapy interventions have a crucial role in supporting adaptive methods to get around physical restrictions, making it easier for infants with ISH to reach developmental milestones that could otherwise be difficult. Although there is little research on the effects of physical therapy on infants with ISH, new data indicate that a proactive, tailored physical therapy program can greatly enhance the functional ability of impacted children, improve their overall quality of life, and avert further problems. It is crucial to incorporate physiotherapy into the comprehensive care of infants diagnosed with ISH. This highlights the significance of timely diagnosis, interdisciplinary cooperation, and continuous research aimed at improving and optimizing physiotherapeutic therapies for this uncommon and crippling genetic illness.

X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a rare congenital myopathy. In February 2021, a male neonate was admitted to the West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, with clinical manifestations of hypotonia, accompanied by distinctive facial features, and requiring continuous ventilatory support. He was born prematurely at 36+2 weeks gestation and developed respiratory distress postnatally, followed by difficulty in weaning from mechanical ventilation. Additional clinical features included hypotonia of the limbs, swallowing dysfunction, and specific facial characteristics (elongated limbs, narrow face, high-arched palate, wrist drop, empty scrotum, elongated fingers/toes). Genetic testing confirmed the diagnosis of XLMTM. Whole-exome sequencing analysis of the family revealed no mutations in the father, paternal grandfather, or paternal grandmother, while the mother had a heterozygous mutation. The pathogenic mutation was identified as MTM1 gene (OMIM: 300415), chromosome position chrX-150649714, with a nucleotide change of c.868-2A>C. The patient exhibited typical facial features. Genetic testing is crucial for accurate diagnosis of XLMTM in infants presenting with abnormal muscle tone and distinctive facial features.
X-连锁肌小管肌病(X-linked myotubular myopathy，XLMTM)是一种罕见的先天性肌病。四川大学华西第二医院于2021年2月收治1例临床表现为肌张力低下、伴有特殊面容、需持续呼吸机辅助通气的男性新生儿，36+2周早产，出生后出现呼吸困难及治疗后撤机困难，伴有四肢肌张力低下、吞咽功能障碍及特殊外貌特征(四肢细长、面部狭长、高腭弓、双手垂腕、阴囊空虚、细长指/趾等)，经基因检测确诊为XLMTM。其全外显子家系测序结果提示父亲、外公、外婆均无变异，母亲存在杂合变异，致病突变为MTM1(OMIM：300415)，染色体位置为chrX-150649714，核苷酸变化为c.868-2A>C。该患儿具有典型的外貌特征，且经基因检测发现为新发的突变基因。对存在肌张力异常及特殊面容的患儿，早期进行基因检测对准确诊断XLMTM有重要意义。.

Hypereosinophilia is a rare presentation in all age groups, particularly when it is severe, persistent, and progressive. We describe the clinical characteristics and course of severe hypereosinophilia in a full-term Saudi female neonate. A febrile respiratory illness evolved with a progressive increase in peripheral blood leukocyte and eosinophil counts, reaching 44.9% of leukocytes and an absolute value of 57,000 cells/µl. Different etiological examinations (for viral, bacterial, immunodeficiency, hyper IgE syndrome, gene mutations) revealed extremely high CMV antigenemia and a homozygous mutation in the STAT1 gene. Anhelation was relieved by oxygen and anti-viral treatment. Steroids brought a dramatic response in peripheral blood counts within 24 h. After a 6-week course of antiviral and steroid treatment at home, she had an excellent general condition. Conclusion: Although a rare pathology, it is important to consider genetic disorders when there is an atypical immune response to viral infections.
