RESUMO

The clinical effectiveness of four neuraminidase inhibitors (NAIs) (oseltamivir, zanamivir, laninamivir, and peramivir) for children aged 0 months to 18 years with influenza A and B were investigated in the 2014-2015 to 2016-2017 influenza seasons in Japan. A total of 1207 patients (747 with influenza A and 460 with influenza B) were enrolled. The Cox proportional-hazards model using all of the patients showed that the duration of fever after administration of the first dose of the NAI was shorter in older patients (hazard ratio = 1.06 per 1 year of age, p < 0.001) and that the duration of fever after administration of the first dose of the NAI was shorter in patients with influenza A infection than in patients with influenza B infection (hazard ratio = 2.21, p < 0.001). A logistic regression model showed that the number of biphasic fever episodes was 2.99-times greater for influenza B-infected patients than for influenza A-infected patients (p < 0.001). The number of biphasic fever episodes in influenza A- or B-infected patients aged 0-4 years was 2.89-times greater than that in patients aged 10-18 years (p = 0.010), and the number of episodes in influenza A- or B-infected patients aged 5-9 years was 2.13-times greater than that in patients aged 10-18 years (p = 0.012).

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the HLA-DRB1, DQB1, DPB1, A, C, and B genotypes among Japanese children with autoimmune type 1 diabetes. METHODS: Four hundred and thirty patients who were GADAb and/or IA-2Ab-positive (Type 1A) were recruited from 37 medical centers as part of a nationwide multicenter collaborative study. DNA samples from 83 siblings of the children with Type 1A diabetes and 149 parent-child trios were also analyzed. A case-control study and a transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) were then performed. RESULTS: The susceptible and protective DRB1 and DQB1 alleles and haplotypes were confirmed. DPB1 alleles unique to the Japanese population and those common to multiple ethnic groups were also present. A linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis showed both susceptible and protective haplotypes. The TDT did not reveal any alleles that were transmitted preferentially from the mother or father to children with Type 1A. Homozygosity for DRB1-09:01-DQB1-03:03 and heterozygosity for DRB1-04:05-DQB1-04:01 and DRB1-08:02-DQB1-03:02 were associated with an extremely high risk of Type 1A. A comparison of children with Type 1A and their parents and siblings suggested a dose effect of susceptible DRB1-DQB1 haplotypes and an effect of protective alleles on immunological pathogenesis. DRB1-09:01 appeared to be strongly associated with an early onset in preschool children with Type 1A diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated the characteristic association of HLA-class II and class I genes with Type 1A diabetes among Japanese children. A TDT did not reveal the genomic imprinting of HLA-class II and class I genes in Type 1A diabetes.

RESUMO

Objective: This study aimed to report on 15 Japanese patients with acrodysostosis and pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) and analyze them using the newly proposed classification of the EuroPHP network to determine whether this classification system is suitable for Japanese patients. Design: We divided the patients into three groups based on hormone resistance, the number of fingers with short metacarpals, the existence of cone-shaped epiphyses and gene defects. Methods: We carried out clinical, radiological and genetic evaluations of two patients in group A (iPPSD5), six patients in group B (iPPDS4) and seven patients in group C (iPPSD2). Results: Group A consisted of two siblings without hormone resistance who had the most severe bone and physical developmental delays. PDE4D gene defects were detected in both cases. Group B consisted of six patients who showed hormone resistance without hypocalcemia. Short metacarpal bones with corn-shaped epiphyses were observed in all patients. In two cases, PRKAR1A gene defects were detected; however, their clinical and radiological features were not identical. The facial dysmorphism and developmental delay were less severe and PRKAR1A gene defects were detected in case B-3. Severe facial dysmorphism and deformity of metacarpal bones were observed, but no gene defect was detected in case B-1. Group C consisted of seven patients with PHP1a, four of whom had maternally inherited heterozygous inactivating mutations in one of the GNAS genes. The clinical and radiological features of the patients in group C were not identical either. Conclusions: The newly proposed classification is suitable for Japanese patients; however, heterogeneities still existed within groups B and C.

RESUMO

CONTEXT: Congenital isolated TSH deficiency (i-TSHD) is a rare form of congenital hypothyroidism. Five genes (IGSF1, IRS4, TBL1X, TRHR, and TSHB) responsible for the disease have been identified, although their relative frequencies and hypothalamic/pituitary unit phenotypes have remained to be clarified. OBJECTIVES: To define the relative frequencies and hypothalamic/pituitary unit phenotypes of congenital i-TSHD resulting from single gene mutations. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirteen Japanese patients (11 boys and 2 girls) with congenital i-TSHD were enrolled. IGSF1, IRS4, TBL1X, TRHR, and TSHB were sequenced. For a TBL1X mutation (p.Asn382del), its pathogenicity was verified in vitro. For a literature review, published clinical data derived from 74 patients with congenital i-TSHD resulting from single-gene mutations were retrieved and analyzed. RESULTS: Genetic screening of the 13 study subjects revealed six mutation-carrying patients (46%), including five hemizygous IGSF1 mutation carriers and one hemizygous TBL1X mutation carrier. Among the six mutation carriers, one had intellectual disability and the other one had obesity, but the remaining four did not show nonendocrine phenotypes. Loss of function of the TBL1X mutation (p.Asn382del) was confirmed in vitro. The literature review demonstrated etiology-specific relationship between serum prolactin (PRL) levels and TRH-stimulated TSH levels with some degree of overlap. CONCLUSIONS: The mutation screening study covering the five causative genes of congenital i-TSHD was performed, showing that the IGSF1 defect was the leading genetic cause of the disease. Assessing relationships between serum PRL levels and TRH-stimulated TSH levels would contribute to predict the etiologies of congenital i-TSHD.

RESUMO

AIMS: Slowly progressing insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (SPIDDM, hereafter referred to as IDDMS in this article) is a unique subtype of type 1 diabetes in Japanese children. To clarify the genetic background of IDDMS, we analyzed HLA-DRB1, -DQB1 and -DQA1 alleles, phenotypes, and genotypes and compared them with acute-onset type 1 diabetes, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and control subjects. METHODS: HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 types were defined by DNA analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and typing for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) was performed by the sequencing-based typing (SBT) method using Match Maker and MT Navigator in combination. HLA-A24 was determined by the PCR-sequence-specific oligo-nucleotide probe (PCR-SSOP) method. The 234 patients with type 1 diabetes were divided into three groups: 32 cases of IDDMS, 137 cases of acute-onset form aged more than 5 yr (IDDMA), and 65 cases of acute-onset form less than 5 yr of age at onset (IDDME). In addition, we studied 55 children with type 2 diabetes (NIDDM) and 97 normal controls. RESULTS: The patients with IDDMS were older at diagnosis and had a greater body mass index (BMI) than those with IDDM (A + E). The prevalence of islet autoantbodies was not significantly different from IDDMA. The allele frequencies of DRB1*0405, DQA1*0302, and DQB1*0401 were significantly increased; however, DRB1*0901, DQA1*03, DQB1*0303, and HLA-A24 were low and not significantly different from control subjects. CONCLUSIONS: HLA phenotypes and genotypes in patients with IDDMS were different from those in NIDDM and control subjects and were closer to those of IDDMA. Together with a low prevalence of HLA-A24, the genetic features are similar to those of SPIDDM and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) in adults. In our series, the clinical features such as lack of obesity and lack of responsiveness to oral hypoglycemic agents were most different from those of adults' onset.
