Objective:To carry out genetic testing and clinical phenotypic characterization on a four-generation Chinese pedigree affected with Stickler syndrome type I and explore its genotype-phenotype correlation.Methods:A child presented at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in February 2023 for micrognathia, glossoptosis and cleft palate and his family members were selected as the study subjects. Clinical data were collected from the affected members, and peripheral blood samples were obtained from 17 participants (4 patients and 13 asymptomatic individuals). Whole exome sequencing (WES) was carried out. Candidate variant was verified by Sanger sequencing. Genotype-phenotype correlations were analyzed by integrating the sequencing data with evidence from existing literature. This study has bee granted by the Ethics Committee of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center (Ethics No.: 2022-406B00).Results:The four-generation pedigree has comprised 19 members. In addition to the proband, 5 affected individuals had manifested high myopia, congenital cataracts, and progressive vision loss. Two deceased members reportedly exhibited similar ocular manifestations. Among the four living patients, two had developed retinal detachment, while two others presented with chronic joint pain onset between 35 ~ 40 years of age. One patient required hip replacement surgery at age 42 secondary to femoral head necrosis. The proband, the youngest affected member, exhibited characteristic phenotypes including congenital micrognathia and cleft palate, consistent with Pierre-Robin syndrome. Genetic analysis revealed a heterozygous nonsense mutation in COL2A1 (NM_001844.5: c. 2668C>T; p. Gln890Ter) segregating with the disease in all four symptomatic patients. This variant was absent in asymptomatic family members and unaffected controls. While the mutation is listed in ClinVar, no clinical case reports has associated it with this phenotypic spectrum. It was not observed in population databases (gnomAD v4.1.0, 1000 Genomes Project, or ExAC), supporting its potential pathogenicity. Conclusion:This study has diagnosed a four-generation Chinese pedigree with Stickler syndrome type I attributed to the pathogenic COL2A1 variant c. 2668C>T (p.Gln890Ter), which is a rare nonsense mutation associated with ocular predominance and variable skeletal involvement. Notably, this family exhibited marked clinical heterogeneity despite sharing the identical genotype, which highlighted challenges in phenotype-genotype correlation. The autosomal dominant transmission pattern observed in this pedigree has provided critical insights into COL2A1-related collagenopathies and underscored the necessity of ultrasonographic monitoring for ocular anomalies in prenatal diagnostics. Above findings have advanced our understanding of pleiotropic effects in type Ⅱ collagen disorders and lay the foundation for precision-based genetic counseling, enabling targeted cascade screening and implementation of tertiary prevention strategies against congenital disabilities in high-risk families.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Huashi Runzao prescription (HRP) on the histopathological injury and function of submandibular gland in naive non-obese diabetic (NOD/Ltj) mouse model of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and its regulatory effect on aquaporin 5 (AQP5) expression in submandibular gland cells. MethodThe SS model was induced in NOD/Ltj mice. The NOD/Ltj female mice aged nine weeks were selected and randomly assigned into model group,HRP group (7.15 g·kg-1·d-1),and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) group (1.30 g·kg-1·d-1), and female BALB/c mice in the same age were selected and assigned into the normal group, with six mice in each group. Drug intervention lasted eight weeks. The water consumption and salivary flow rate (SFR) of each group were recorded. The pathological staining results of the submandibular gland of mice in each group were observed and scored. AQP5 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed increased water consumption (P<0.05) and reduced SFR (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the HRP group showed decreased water consumption (P<0.05) and increased SFR (P<0.05), and the HCQ group showed increased SFR (P<0.05). In terms of histopathological results of the submandibular gland,compared with the normal group,the model group showed increased pathological score, number of lymphocyte infiltration foci,and percentage of lymphatic infiltration area (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the HRP group showed reduced pathological scores and number of lymphocyte infiltration foci (P<0.05), and the HRP group and the HCQ group showed reduced percentage of lymphatic infiltration area(P<0.05). The results of IHC and Western blot showed that compared with the normal group,the model group showed down-regulated expression level of AQP5 protein (P<0.05), and compared with the model group and the HCQ group,the HRP group showed up-regulated expression level of AQP5 protein (P<0.05). ConclusionHRP can improve the secretion function of submandibular gland acinous cells and glandular structure injury in SS model mice, and its mechanism may be related to the up-regulation of AQP5 protein expression level in submandibular gland cells.
