Objective:To study the clinical manifestations, genetic profiles and treatment of Kagami-Ogata syndrome (KOS).Methods:A neonate admitted to our hospital was genetically diagnosed of KOS from amniocentesis sampling. The phenotype, genotype and treatment of the neonate were analyzed. Multiple databases were searched using key words including "Kagami-Ogata syndrome", "14q32 microdeletion syndrome", "coat-hanger ribs", "paternal uniparental disomy (pUPD)(14) " from the inception of the databases to Jan. 23th 2023. The clinical features, genotype and treatment of patients from the literature were summarized.Results:The neonate in our hospital was born at 30 weeks gestational age with a birth weight of 2 035 g. Prenatal ultrasound indicated overgrowth, bilateral fetal renal pelvis dilatation (FRPD), dilatation of intestines in lower abdomen, clenched hands with overlapping fingers and polyhydramnios. After birth, the neonate showed progressively worsening respiratory distress, distinct facial features (small jaw, short neck, flat nasal bridge, upward-facing nostrils, small and malformed ears with auricular deformity and narrow external auditory canals), bell-shaped thorax, diastasis recti and abnormal posture (overlapping fingers, clenched fists), as well as feeding difficulties, recurrent fever and dependence of respiratory support. Whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed a 268.2Kb deletion (101034306_101302541) in 14q32.2 region on both the neonate and the mother and the father was otherwise normal. The prognosis was poor and the parents refused further treatment. The neonate died at one month of age after two days of palliative care. A total of 36 articles were identified in the literature review, including 78 KOS cases with complete clinical data (a total of 79 cases adding our case).The primary clinical manifestations included distinctive facial and thoracic abnormalities (79/79, 100%), polyhydramnios (71/75, 94.7%), feeding difficulties (55/63, 87.3%), abdominal wall defects (57/72, 79.2%), joint contractures (39/70, 55.7%) and dependence of respiratory support (29/56, 51.8%). Long-term follow-up revealed 86.8% (59/68) experienced physical, movement and intellectual development delay, 39.7% (25/63) died or gave up treatments within five years. Genetic testing showed pUPD in 44 cases (55.7%), maternal deletions in 23 cases (29.1%), epimutations in 8 cases (10.1%) and unreported variations in 4 cases (5.1%).Conclusions:KOS is a genetic imprinting disorder affecting multiple organs. Prenatal screening can detect abnormalities such as polyhydramnios. Specific clinical signs, radiological findings and 14q32 gene analysis are helpful for the diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To assess the efficacy of pirfenidone combined with PD-L1 inhibitor for treatment of bladder cancer in a mouse model and its effect on tumor immune microenvironment modulation.Methods Forty C57BL/6 mouse models bearing ectopic human bladder cancer xenografts were randomized into control group,PD-L1 inhibitor group,pirfenidone group and combined treatment group(n=10).After successful modeling,PD-L1 inhibitor treatment was administered via intraperitoneal injection at 12.5 mg/kg every 3 days,and oral pirfenidone(500 mg/kg)was given on a daily basis.The survival rate of the mice and tumor growth rate were compared among the 4 groups.The expressions of CD3,CD8,CD45,E-cadherin and N-cadherin in the tumor tissues were detected with immunohistochemistry after the 21-day treatment,and bone marrow-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs)were observed with immunofluorescence staining;serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),urea nitrogen(BUN),creatinine(CRE)and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH-L)were analyzed using an automated biochemical analyzer.Results Treatment with PD-L1 inhibitor and pirfenidone alone both significantly decreased tumor growth rate and tumor volume at 21 days(P<0.05),but the combined treatment produced an obviously stronger inhibitory effect(P<0.05).PD-L1 inhibitor and pirfenidone alone significantly increased E-cadherin expression and decreased N-cadherin expression in the tumor tissue(P<0.05).The two treatments both significantly increased the percentage of CD3+,CD8 and CD45+ T cells and decreased the percentage of Ly-6G+CD11b+MDSCs in the tumor tissue,and these changes were more obvious in the combined treatment group(P<0.05).No significant differences were found in serum ALT,AST,BUN,CRE or LDH-L levels among the 4 groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Combined treatment with pirfenidone and PD-L1 inhibitor significantly inhibits the progression of bladder cancer in mice possibly by regulating tumor immune microenvironment and inhibiting epithelial-mesenchymal transition of the tumor cells.
