OBJECTIVE: To analyze the phenotype and genotype of a neonate with Osteo-oto-hepato-enteric syndrome (O2HE) and review the literature. METHODS: A female neonate diagnosed with O2HE syndrome on December 13, 2024 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University was selected as the study subject, and her clinical characteristics were analyzed, and pathogenic variants were explored by whole exome sequencing (WES). This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: 2025-KY-1038). RESULTS: The proband, a female infant, was delivered by Cesarean section at 36⁺¹ weeks of gestation. Five days after birth, she had developed severe diarrhea, mild cholestasis, sensorineural hearing loss, and growth retardation. WES revealed that she has harbored novel compound heterozygous variants c.512delA (p.Lys171Serfs*64) and c.698C>A (p.Thr233Asn) of the UNC45A gene, which were inherited from her mother and father, respectively. A total of 8 English papers were retrieved, which involved 16 patients from 14 families. Combined with our case, the 17 patients included 13 (76.5%) females and 4 (23.5%) males. Four patients (23.5%) had consanguineous parents. One case was excluded from further genetic analysis due to co-morbidity with other genetic variants. The primary clinical features included diarrhea (87.5%), cholestasis (81.3%), sensorineural hearing loss (31.3%), bone fragility (37.5%), and developmental delay (50.0%). Bi-allelic compound heterozygous mutations were identified in 12 patients (75.0%), and homozygous variants in 4 (25.0%). These included missense, nonsense, frameshift and deletional variants. The c.710T>C (p.Leu237Pro) variant was identified for 5 times, 3 of which were in homozygote forms. CONCLUSION O2HE syndrome should be suspected in cases with diarrhea, cholestasis, and hearing abnormalities during early postnatal period. Genetic testing facilitate early identification, genetic diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To analyze the phenotype and genotype of a neonate with Hypoparathyroidism-sensorineural deafness-renal dysplasia syndrome (HDR).Methods:A female neonate with HDR syndrome and thyroid deficiency detected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in on December 6, 2023 was selected as the study subject, Low-coverage whole-genome sequencing (Lc WGS) and whole exome sequencing (WES) were carried out. Using " hypoparathyroidism" " sensorineural deafness" " renal dysplasia" " HDR" " Barakat" and" GATA3" as keywords, the CNKI, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform and PubMed database were searched, and the retrieval time was set from the establishment to March 2025. Results:A proband, a full-term female infant, had presented with feeding difficulty, micrognathia, and low-set ears. Serological test revealed hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, hypoparathyroidism, low T3, low T4 and high TSH. Hearing test revealed bilateral sensorineural deafness. Ultrasonic test revealed absence of right kidney and thyroid. WES revealed that the she has harbored a deletion of approximately 6.67 Mb at 10p15.1p13, and Lc WGS confirmed the presence of a 6.70 Mb deletion in the same region, which was verified as a de novo variant. Literature review suggested that HDR was rarely diagnosed among neonates. Among the nine cases diagnosed in neonatal period, 66.6% (6/9) exhibited the typical triad, 77.7% (7/9) had hypoparathyroidism with hypocalcemic convulsion as the initial symptom, 22.2% (2/9) had sensorineural hearing loss or renal malformation, and 66.6% (6/9) had multiple malformations including facial dysmorphism and congenital heart disease. 55.5% (5/9) had a large deletion in the 10p15 region, whilst 33.3% (3/9) had a single gene variant. The range of the deletion had correlated with the diversity of clinical phenotypes in HDR syndrome, but the classic triad of symptoms may presented in any combination, independent of deletion size. Association of HDR with thyroid deficiency has been unreported previously.Conclusion:For neonates presenting with one of the symptoms of HDR triad or in combination with other malformations, genetic testing should be carried out.

Malignant tumors are a major disease threatening human health with disability and mortality rates increasing yearly.Protein tyrosine phosphatase 2(SHP2)of Src homology 2,an important member of the protein tyrosine phosphatase family,has a wide range of functions,and its expression is elevated in a wide range of solid tumors.SHP2 plays an important regulatory role in invasion,metastasis,proliferation,apoptosis,and drug resistance.A large number of studies have shown that SHP2 plays a very important role in the genesis and development of many solid tumors,but no systematic studies have reported on the role of SHP2 in digestive system tumors.Here,we reviewed the biological functions and clinical significance of SHP2 in seven tumor types of the digestive system,explored its roles and mechanisms in cancer development stages,and summarized the development of SHP2 inhibitors to further search for potential targets for effective early diagnosis and gene therapy,which is of great significance to improvement the cancer patient survival rate.

BACKGROUND: The hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine has been efficiently used for decades. However, hepatocellular carcinoma caused by HBV is still prevalent globally. We previously reported that interferon (IFN)-induced tripartite motif-containing 25 (TRIM25) inhibited HBV replication by increasing the IFN expression, and this study aimed to further clarify the anti-HBV mechanism of TRIM25. METHODS: The TRIM25-mediated degradation of hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein was determined by detecting the expression of HBx in TRIM25-overexpressed or knocked-out HepG2 or HepG2-NTCP cells via Western blotting. Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to confirm the interaction between TRIM25 and HBx, and colocalization of TRIM25 and HBx was identified via immunofluorescence; HBV e-antigen and HBV surface antigen were qualified by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit from Kehua Biotech. TRIM25 mRNA, pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), and HBV DNA were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) and pgRNA interaction was verified by RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS: We found that TRIM25 promoted HBx degradation, and confirmed that TRIM25 could enhance the K90-site ubiquitination of HBx as well as promote HBx degradation by the proteasome pathway. Interestingly, apart from the Really Interesting New Gene (RING) domain, the SPRY domain of TRIM25 was also indispensable for HBx degradation. In addition, we found that the expression of TRIM25 increased the recognition of HBV pgRNA by interacting with RIG-I, which further increased the IFN production, and SPRY, but not the RING domain is critical in this process. CONCLUSIONS The study found that TRIM25 interacted with HBx and promoted HBx-K90-site ubiquitination, which led to HBx degradation. On the other hand, TRIM25 may function as an adaptor, which enhanced the recognition of pgRNA by RIG-I, thereby further promoting IFN production. Our study can contribute to a better understanding of host-virus interaction.
