Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism of the disease based on the clinical characterization and genetic mutation analysis in a family with intellectual disability.Methods:The proband with intellectual disability was diagnosed at Luohe Central Hospital in December 2019. Peripheral blood samples were collected from four family members. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to screen the pathological mutations. Then the PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to verify the selected mutations and combine the relevant database to analyze variation loci.Results:We infer that the ARX c.1162 A>G was co-segregated with the phenotype of the family based on the results of WES. The results of sanger sequencing and WES are consistent. The mother of the proband is the carrier of the mutation. There is no mutation frequency reported in the healthy population. The mutation of the ARX c.1162A>G is harmful inferred by a variety of bioinformatics software. Combined with the phenotypic analysis of OMIM database, we infer the phenotype caused by the mutation is consistent with the patients in the family.Conclusion:The mutation of the ARX c.1162 A>G may be the cause of the intellectual disability in the family affected. And the variant has not been reported in China.

Objective:To explore the association between platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and frequent peritoneal dialysis (PD) - associated peritonitis (PDAP) in PD patients.Methods:The data of PD patients with PDAP from Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital between January 2015 and June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into mono group (only once PDAP occurred in one year) and frequent group (2 or more PDAP occurred in one year) according to the frequency of PDAP. The demographic data including gender, age, height and weight, the clinical data including blood pressure, duration of PD, causes of peritonitis, the laboratory data at the first time of PDAP and the prognosis of PDAP were compared between two groups. Logistic regression analysis method was applied to analyze the relationship between PLR and frequent PDAP. The predictive power of PLR was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results:A total of 78 PD patients with PDAP were enrolled, including 53 males and 25 females, with average age of 45.2 years. The total person-year was 765.1 person-years and the incidence of peritonitis was 0.10 case/person-year during the median follow-up of 16 months. All patients were divided into two groups: 53 patients in mono group and 25 patients in frequent group. Compared with mono group, the patients in frequent group had lower body mass index, longer dialysis duration, higher systolic blood pressure level, higher PLR level, lower uric acid level, and higher rate of drug-resistant bacteria in peritoneal effusion (all P<0.05). The extubation rate of the frequent group was 44.0%(11/25), which was significantly higher than that [15.1%(8/53)] of mono group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher PLR level was an independent related factor for frequent PDAP( OR=1.006, 95% CI 1.002-1.010, P=0.003), and the area under the ROC curve of PLR was 0.783(95% CI 0.663-0.904, P<0.001). Conclusions:High PLR level is an independent related factor of frequent PDAP for PD patients, and PLR can be a potential predictor of frequent PDAP.
