Objectives: To improve the understanding of the clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics of nephronophthisis (NPHP) and related syndromes in children.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on the medical data of eight children with NPHP and related syndromes who were diagnosed and treated in the Department of Pediatrics of the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, from January 2018 to November 2022. The clinical characteristics and genetic testing results were analyzed.
Background: Purpuric nephritis is the most common secondary glomerular disease in childhood. Its prevalence in children has been steadily rising in recent years.
Objective: To explore the characteristics and pathogenesis of changes in peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets and immune function in children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis.
To identify the gene mutation of Stormorken syndrome and review the published Stromal Interaction Molecule 1 (STIM1) mutation phenotype. We described the clinical and molecular aspects of a Chinese female with Stormorken syndrome by laboratory tests, muscle biopsies, and genetic analysis. We used this information to summarize all the mutation sites reported in the literature.
