Abstract

Objective To analyze the possible mechanism and prevention of short stature caused by NFⅠthrough the analysis of a pedigree of neurofibromatosis type Ⅰ (NF Ⅰ). Method The clinical data and gene test data of 3 cases of NFⅠwith short stature in a pedigree were retrospectively analyzed. Results The height of two cases of children and their mother were less than 2 standard deviations,all with typical skin changes and varying degrees of skeletal deformity.The bone age of two children lagged behind over 1 year and the level of IGF-1 was lower,with normal thyroid function and no tumor-related abnormalities.Genetic sequencing showed that there was a heterozygous mutation(c.4267A>G) in mother and 2 children diagnosed with NF Ⅰ. Conclusions NFⅠ,one of the special causes of short stature should be given high priority.It is an autosomal dominant disease,and there is no effective treatment for NFⅠ.Therefore,prenatal diagnosis is the most important prerequisite for preemptive families to prevent NF Ⅰ.

Key words
