OBJECTIVE: To investigate the genetic etiology of a fetus diagnosed with Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM). METHODS: A fetus that underwent prenatal diagnosis at Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, on May 19, 2025 was selected for analysis. Results of fetal ultrasound findings, chromosomal karyotyping, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), and whole-exome sequencing (WES) were collected. Sanger sequencing was performed for familial validation of the pathogenic variant. The Human Protein Atlas (HPA), STRING, and Simple ClinVar databases were queried to characterize the biological features of the candidate gene. Three-dimensional structures of the wild-type and variant proteins were modeled and analyzed, and the evolutionary conservation of the affected amino acid was assessed using UGENE. Prenatal phenotypes associated with EFTUD2 variants were summarized through a review of the literature. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University (Ethics No.: 2025-KY-029-01). RESULTS: At 23⁺² weeks of gestation, ultrasound examination revealed bilateral microtia with low-set ears, mild micrognathia with a reduced mandibular-facial angle, a single umbilical artery, a slightly narrow aortic diameter, and trivial mitral regurgitation. Amniotic fluid karyotyping and CNV-seq showed no abnormalities. WES identified a de novo, previously unreported EFTUD2 variant, c.698dupA (p.V235Gfs*27), in the fetus. This frameshift variant is predicted to alter the structural integrity of the EFTUD2 protein. Literature review indicated that micrognathia and microtia or low-set ears are the most common sonographic features in fetuses with EFTUD2 variants, while secondary findings may include abnormal stomach bubble, cleft palate, single umbilical artery, gastrointestinal atresia, polyhydramnios, and reduced aortic diameter. CONCLUSION The EFTUD2: c.698dupA (p.V235Gfs*27) variant is likely the genetic cause underlying MFDM in this fetus.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genotype-phenotype relationship in a child with Opitz G/BBB syndrome (OS) with mild clinical phenotype. METHODS: A child with motor developmental delay as the initial symptom admitted to Xi'an Children's Hospital on June 10, 2021 was selected for this study. Clinical data were collected, and peripheral blood samples were obtained from the child and his mother. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed to identify genetic variant in the child. Candidate variant were verified by Sanger sequencing to assess inheritance patterns and pathogenicity. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB) analyses were conducted to evaluate the effects of the variant on mRNA and protein expression, respectively, using recombinant expression plasmids generated in vitro. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Xi'an Children's Hospital (Ethics No. 20240045). RESULTS: The child, a 9-month-and-7-day-old boy, presented with a low nasal bridge, hypertelorism, and difficulty sitting independently. Echocardiography revealed an atrial septal defect. WES identified a homozygous variant in the MIDI gene, c.1483C>T (p.R495X), which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing and found to be inherited from the mother.Recombinant expression plasmids were successfully constructed. RT-qPCR analysis showed that the variant significantly reduced MIDI gene mRNA expression, while WB results indicated that the variant led to the production of a truncated protein. CONCLUSION The mild clinical phenotype of OS in this child may be attributed to the mRNA degradation escape mechanism induced by the nonsense variant c.1483C>T (p.R495X) in the MIDI gene. These findings provide valuable diagnostic insights for this pedigree and contribute to the understanding of the genotype-phenotype correlation in OS.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical phenotypes and genetic characteristics of a pedigree with Distal arthrogryposis type 5D (DA5D) caused by compound heterozygous variants in the ECEL1 gene. METHODS: A child (proband) diagnosed with DA5D and his family members (proband's parents and sister) who was admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Henan Children's Hospital in July 2022 due to "multiplex distal arthrogryposis" were enrolled into this study. Clinical data of the proband were collected and peripheral blood samples were obtained from the proband and members of his family about 3 mL. Trio-whole genome sequencing (trio-WGS) was carried out to detected the genetic variations of the proband and his family members. The candidate's pathogenic gene variants were screened and analyzed by Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) and other databases. The screened variants were annotated for clinical phenotypes using databases like the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM). The pathogenicity of the candidate variants was predicted by bioinformatics tools such as Provean. Based on the guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), pathogenicity ratings were conducted for variant sites. The protein conservation and mutation structure prediction of ECEL1 protein among species were carried out though MEGA-X and PyMOL. The research protocol of this study was reviewed by the Ethics Committee of Henan Provincial Children's Hospital (Approval No. 2023-H-H01), and informed consent for clinical research was obtained from the guardians of the probands. RESULTS: The proband had multiplex distal arthrogryposis involving hands, feet, knees, and ankles, and had right ptosis, micrognathia, low auricular position, and upturned nose. The parents and sister both had normal phenotypes. Trio-WGS and Sanger sequencing revealed that the child had compound heterozygous variants of paternal c.1742_c.1743insT and maternal c.2314T>G, for which the father and sister were carriers of the c.1742_c.1743insT heterozygous variant and the mother was carrier of c.2314T>A. Neither mutation site has been reported. According to guidelines of ACMG, the c.1742_c.1743insT variant was classified as likely pathogenic (PSV1+PM2_Supporting), and c.2314T>G was classified as uncertain (PM2_Supporting+PM3+PP3). The results of conserved analysis of amino acid residue sequences of ECEL1 protein showed that the missense mutation of the maternal c.2314T>G (p.Cys772Gly) was highly conserved among humans and other seven species. The protein structure prediction revealed that the c.1742_c.1743insT frameshift mutation led to the protein truncation, and the c.2314T>G missense mutation resulted in the failure of forming 1 disulfide bond. CONCLUSION The compound heterozygous variants of ECEL1 gene were considered to be pathogenic for this DA5D patient, which have expanded the mutational spectrum of the ECEL1 gene and provided a reference for clinical diagnosis as well as genetic counseling for this family.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical characteristics and genetic etiology of a child with Oral-facial-digital syndrome type Ⅰ(OFDSⅠ). METHODS: A child with OFDSⅠ who received treatment at the Women and Children's Hospital Affiliated to Ningbo University in March 2023 was selected as the study subject. A retrospective research method was used to collect the clinical data of the child. Peripheral venous blood samples were collected from the child, her parents and sister. Genomic DNA was extracted, and whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed. Candidate variants were validated using Sanger sequencing for familial verification. According to the Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants developed by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) (hereinafter referred to as the "ACMG Guidelines"), the pathogenicity of the candidate variant was rated. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Ningbo University Affiliated Women and Children's Hospital (Ethic No.: EC 2024-063). RESULTS: The child was a prematurely born female with deformities of the oral cavity, fingers, and toes. She was admitted to the Neonatal Department of the Hospital where she was born due to shortness of breath 15 minutes after birth. The WES results indicated that the child has harbored a heterozygous c.710dup (p.Y238Vfs*2) frameshifting variant of the OFD1 gene. Sanger sequencing confirmed that neither of the child's parents nor her sister had carried the same variant. According to the ACMG guidelines, the variant was rated as pathogenic (PVS1+PS4_Moderate+PM2-Supporting+PM6_Supporting+PP4). CONCLUSION Children with OFDSⅠ have clinical features such as oral, finger, and toe deformities. The c.710dup (p.Y238Vfs*2) variant of the OFD1 gene probably underlay the OFDSⅠ in this child. Above result has enriched the mutational spectrum of the OFD1 gene.

OBJECTIVE: To block the transmission of Cranio-facial-nasal syndrome (CFNS) caused by a large deletion of the EFNB1 gene through preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M). METHODS: A patient with craniofacial deformities and his parents who had visited Shiyan People's Hospital in June 2020 were selected as the study subjects. The child underwent whole exome sequencing (WES) and qPCR validation. After genetic counseling, PGT-M was chosen for the reproductive blockage. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Ethics No.: sysrmyy-087). RESULTS: The child was diagnosed with CFNS due to a heterozygous deletion of exons 1-5 of the EFNB1 gene through WES and qPCR, which showed a X-linked dominant inheritance. The mother underwent ovarian stimulation with a modified PPOS protocol, which has yielded 11 oocytes. After ICSI fertilization, 4 blastocysts were formed, and MALBAC whole genome amplification was performed on the trophoblast biopsy cells, and SNP haplotypes of the family members and embryos were analyzed to indirectly determine the presence of maternal pathogenic haplotypes. Chromosomal copy number variation analysis was conducted through next-generation sequencing to screen for euploid embryos, resulting in the identification of two euploid embryos that did not carry the mutation of the EFNB1 gene. The first transfer was unsuccessful, but after adjusting the transfer timing through endometrial receptivity assessment (ERA), clinical pregnancy was achieved. Prenatal diagnosis at 19 weeks excluded the EFNB1 gene exons 1-5 deletion in the fetus. A healthy girl was delivered by Cesarean section at 38⁺⁶ weeks, and Q-PCR confirmed she has no aforementioned EFNB1 gene deletion. CONCLUSION This study has successfully blocked the transmission of CFNS caused by a large deletion of the EFNB1 gene (exons 1-5) using a PGT-M strategy, which may provide reference for the intervention of similar genomic variations that cannot be directly detected.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of Salter osteotomy combined with subtrochanteric shortening and derotational osteotomy in treating Tönnis type Ⅲ and Ⅳ developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children and explore the urgical timing. METHODS: A retrospective collection was performed for 74 children with Tönnis type Ⅲ and Ⅳ DDH who were admitted between January 2018 and January 2020 and met the selection criteria, all of whom were treated with Salter osteotomy combined with subtrochanteric shortening and derotational osteotomy. Among them, there were 38 cases in the toddler group (age, 18-36 months) and 36 cases in the preschool group (age, 36-72 months). There was a significant difference in age between the two groups ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in gender, side, Tönnis typing, and preoperative acetabular index (AI) ( P>0.05). During follow-up, hip function was assessed according to the Mckay grade criteria; X-ray films were taken to observe the healing of osteotomy, measure the AI, evaluate the hip imaging morphology according to Severin classification, and assess the occurrence of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) according to Kalamchi-MacEwen (K&M) classification criteria. RESULTS: All operations of both groups were successfully completed, and the incisions healed by first intention. All children were followed up 14-53 months, with an average of 27.9 months. There was no significant difference in the follow-up time between the two groups ( P>0.05). At last follow-up, the excellent and good rates according to the Mckay grading were 94.73% (36/38) in the toddler group and 83.33% (30/36) in the preschool group, and the difference between the two groups was significant ( P<0.05). The imaging reexamination showed that all osteotomies healed with no significant difference in the healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in AI between the two groups at each time point after operation ( P>0.05), and the AI in the two groups showed a significant decreasing trend with time extension ( P<0.05). The result of Severin classification in the toddler group was better than that in the preschool group at last follow-up ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ONFH between the two groups ( P>0.05). In the toddler group, 2 cases were K&M type Ⅰ; in the preschool group, 3 were type Ⅰ, and 1 type Ⅱ. There was no dislocation after operation. CONCLUSION Salter osteotomy combined with subtrochanteric shortening and derotational osteotomy is an effective way to treat Tönnis type Ⅲ and Ⅳ DDH in children, and surgical interventions for children aged 18-36 months can achieve better results.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of correcting post-traumatic equinovarus deformity using Ilizarov external fixation technique combined with limited osteotomy. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 29 patients with post-traumatic equinovarus deformity treated between July 2018 and March 2023. The cohort included 18 males and 11 females, with ages ranging from 15 to 57 years (mean, 24.3 years). All patients exhibited ankylosed ankle joints with equinovarus deformity. During surgery, external fixators were installed according to Ilizarov pinning principles, and minimally invasive osteotomy was performed at the ankle joint. Concurrently, soft tissue release was achieved via minimally invasive Achilles tendon lengthening. Postoperatively, multiplanar deformity correction was accomplished through gradual adjustment of the external fixator. The fixator was removed after bony union at the osteotomy site, followed by bracing. The surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, fixator wear time, and complications were recorded. Postoperative outcomes included assessment of deformity correction and bony union at the osteotomy site. Functional improvement and pain relief were evaluated using pre- and post-operative scores from the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score. RESULTS: All 29 patients were followed up 12-24 months (mean, 18 months). The mean surgical duration was 85.6 minutes, with a mean intraoperative blood loss of 110 mL. Full deformity correction was achieved within 26-80 days (mean, 40.7 days) through progressive fixator adjustments. At correction completion, all ankles restored to a neutral or 5°-10° dorsiflexed position with plantigrade foot function. Superficial pin tract infections occurred in 3 patients (10.3%), resolved with local wound care, enhanced nursing, and oral antibiotics. No deep or systemic infections was observed. One patient sustained a calcaneal half-pin fracture due to a fall during fixator wear, but no bone fragment displacement occurred. No vascular or neurological complication was reported. Complete bony union was achieved at all osteotomy sites without nonunion. At last follow-up, the AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score improved from preoperative 42.7±8.7 to postoperative 65.7±9.3, and the VAS score decreased from preoperative 4.5±1.3 to postoperative 2.5±1.1, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Functional outcomes were rated as excellent in 14 cases, good in 13 cases, fair in 1 case, and poor in 1 case, with an excellent and good rate of 93.1%. CONCLUSION The progressive correction strategy combining Ilizarov external fixation technique with limited foot osteotomy effectively corrects post-traumatic equinovarus deformity while preserving soft tissue integrity. This method is associated with minimal, largely controllable complications and achieves alignment stability and fusion outcomes comparable to traditional open surgery, making it an effective treatment for complex foot and ankle deformities.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the methods of ankle hinge position design in the correction of clubfoot deformity by Ilizarov method, and to explore its application value in the prevention of ankle dislocation. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted including 28 patients with rigid clubfoot deformity (34 feet) who met the selection criteria and admitted between September 2021 and December 2024. There were 19 males and 9 females with an average age of 31.8 years (range, 19-47 years). According to Dimeglio classification, there were 21 feet of degree Ⅲ and 13 feet of degree Ⅳ. The causes were traumatic sequelae in 9 cases, congenital foot deformity in 15 cases, spina bifida sequelae in 1 case, peripheral neuropathy in 1 case, and cerebral palsy sequelae in 2 cases. The malformation lasted from 6 to 46 years, with an average of 29.3 years. All patients were treated with Ilizarov circular external fixator, and the hinge position of ankle joint was planned according to the standard lateral X-ray film of foot and ankle and the principle of Ilizarov limb deformity correction center of rotation angulation (CORA) before operation. The 2008 International Clubfoot Study Group (ICFSG) scoring system was used to evaluate the efficacy. RESULTS: The deformity of rigid clubfoot was completely corrected in all patients, and the patients could walk with plantar weight-bearing, and the ankle weight-bearing walking significantly improved when compared with that before operation. There was no complication such as ankle dislocation, talus impact or extrusion, local skin necrosis, needle tract infection, or numbness of extremities during the correction process. All patients were followed up 5-39 months, with an average of 18.1 months. At last follow-up, according to the ICFSG scoring system, 23 feet were excellent, 10 feet were good, and 1 foot was fair, and the excellent and good rate was 97%. CONCLUSION Designing the position of the ankle hinge according to the principle of CORA can effectively avoid ankle dislocation, talus impingement, tibiotalar joint extrusion, and other ankle adverse events in the process of correcting clubfoot deformity, which has good application value in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the biomechanical characteristics and clinical application effects of three-dimensional (3D) printed osteotomy guide plate combined with Ilizarov technique in the treatment of rigid clubfoot. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 11 patients with rigid clubfoot who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted between January 2019 and December 2024. There were 6 males and 5 females, aged 21-60 years with an average of 43.2 years. Among them, 5 cases were untreated congenital rigid clubfoot, 4 cases were recurrent rigid clubfoot after previous treatment, and 2 cases were rigid clubfoot due to disease sequelae. All 11 patients first received slow distraction using Ilizarov technique combined with circular external fixator until the force lines of the foot and ankle joint were basically normal. Then, 1 male patient aged 24 years was selected, and CT scanning was used to obtain imaging data of the ankle joint and foot. A 3D finite element model was established and validated using the plantar stress distribution nephogram of the patient. After validation, the biomechanical changes of the tibiotalar joint under the same load were simulated after triple arthrodesis and fixation. The optimal correction angle of the hindfoot was determined to fabricate 3D-printed osteotomy guide plates, and all 11 patients underwent triple arthrodesis using these guide plates. The functional recovery was evaluated by comparing the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, International Clubfoot Study Group (ICFSG) score, and 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) score before and after operation. RESULTS: Finite element analysis showed that the maximum peak von Mises stress of the tibiotalar joint was at hindfoot varus 3° and the minimum at valgus 6°; the maximum peak von Mises stress of the 3 naviculocuneiform joints under various conditions appeared at lateral naviculocuneiform joint before operation, and the minimum appeared at lateral naviculocuneiform joint at neutral position 0°; the maximum peak von Mises stress of the 5 tarsometatarsal joints under various conditions appeared at the 2nd tarsometatarsal joint at hindfoot neutral position 0°, and the minimum appeared at the 1st tarsometatarsal joint at valgus 6°. Clinical application results showed that the characteristics of clubfoot deformity observed during operation were consistent with the preoperative 3D reconstruction model. All 11 patients were followed up 8-24 months with an average of 13.1 months. One patient had postoperative incision exudation, which healed after dressing change; the remaining patients had good incision healing. All patients achieved good healing of the osteotomy segments, with a healing time of 3-6 months and an average of 4.1 months. At last follow-up, the AOFAS score, SF-36 score, and ICFSG score significantly improved when compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). CONCLUSION The 3D-printed osteotomy guide plate combined with Ilizarov technique has favorable biomechanical advantages in the treatment of rigid clubfoot, with significant clinical application effects. It can effectively improve the foot function of patients and achieve precise and personalized treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of applying a standardized rehabilitation process in correction of adult clubfoot with the Ilizarov technique. METHODS: Thirty-eight adult patients who underwent orthopedic treatment with Ilizarov technique for clubfoot between August 2022 and December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into a study group and a control group with 19 cases in each group according to the different rehabilitation management processes and methods. The differences in baseline data such as gender, age, side, and preoperative Holden walking function grading between the two groups were not significant ( P>0.05). In both groups, most of the clubfoot deformities were surgically corrected first, and the residual deformities were corrected by dynamic slow retraction with Ilizarov ring-type external fixation frame. The study group adopted standardized rehabilitation process management mode, including preoperative lower limb muscle strength training, postoperative pain and swelling management, weight-bearing management, gait and lower limb stability training. The control group adopted the conventional postoperative rehabilitation management mode. The occurrence of complications was recorded, including pin tract infection, ankle stiffness and pain, and deformity recurrence. Holden walking function grading was used to evaluate the walking ability of the patients. Clinical efficacy was evaluated by the QIN Sihe Deformity Correction Disability Repair and Functional Reconstruction Postoperative Efficacy Evaluation Scale. Patient satisfaction was evaluated by Likert score. RESULTS: Patients in both groups successfully completed surgery and rehabilitation and were followed up. The follow-up time ranged from 8 to 29 months, with a mean of 18.5 months. Among them, the follow-up time was (18.8±5.5) months in the study group and (18.2±5.7) months in the control group, and the difference between groups was not significant ( t=0.316, P=0.754). The postoperative incidences of pin tract infection, ankle stiffness and pain, and deformity recurrence in the study group were 10.53%, 5.26%, and 5.26%, respectively, and in the control group were 21.05%, 36.84%, and 15.79%, respectively. And the difference between groups in the incidence of ankle stiffness and pain was significant ( P=0.042). At last follow-up, both groups showed an improvement in Holden walking function grading compared to preoperative levels ( P<0.05), and the grading of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P=0.006). According to the QIN Sihe Deformity Correction Disability Repair and Functional Reconstruction Postoperative Efficacy Evaluation Scale, the grade difference between groups was not significant ( P=0.089), and the excellent and good rates of clinical efficacy in study group and control group were 89.47% (17/19) and 73.68% (14/19), respectively. Patient satisfaction in study group was significantly better than that in control group ( P=0.036). CONCLUSION Standardized rehabilitation process can effectively promote the postoperative functional recovery of adult clubfoot treated with Ilizarov technique, reduce the risk of complications and improve effectiveness.
