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.

Objective:
To investigate the efficacy of different bleaching methods on white-spot lesions of the enamel using optical coherence tomography and to evaluate its feasibility for monitoring the therapeutic effects on white-spot lesions.
Methods:
Forty-eight sound premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons were selected and cut for 4 mm×4 mm×2 mm enamel blocks in buccal surfaces of the crowns. The samples were covered with acid-resistant varnish (except for the buccal surfaces) and immersed in demineralization solution for 18 days to establish the white-spot lesion models of the enamels. Samples were randomly divided into four groups (n=12). Group A was given demineralization only. Specimens in Group B, C and D were treated with 40% hydrogen peroxide, resin infiltration and 40% hydrogen peroxide combined with resin infiltration, respectively. Eight samples in each group were randomly selected. OCT was applied to observe the optical changes of the enamel surface and according to the OCT scanning results, the demineralization depth of enamel samples in each group was calculated. Then, the enamel blocks were embedded in epoxy resins, except the buccal surfaces, and measured for the microhardness values of the enamel surface by a microindentation hardness tester. Four samples in each group were cut longitudinally, and the ultrastructural changes of enamel samples in each group were observed by scanning electron microscope.
Results:
OCT showed that the light scattering characteristics of enamel surface changed in all groups, and the bright layer was formed, but the thickness of bright layer in Group C and D was significantly lower than that in Group A and B (P<0.05). The microhardness values (kg/mm2) of the samples in Group A-D were (214.99±31.70), (250.66±33.64), (312.42±18.01) and(286.53±26.65), respectively. The microhardness of enamel surfaces in Group C and D was significantly higher than that in Group A and B (P<0.05), and the ultrastructure of enamel surfaces in Group C and D were more flat and dense in SEM observation (P<0.05).
Conclusion
The methods of resin infiltration therapy or 40% hydrogen peroxide combined with resin infiltration could effectively improve white-spot lesions of the enamel and the non-invasive OCT can be used as a better evaluation method for the diagnosis and treatment of white-spot lesions of the enamel.
