Feb 12, 2026Focus on Rare Diseases | Issue 33: Neuroblastoma: From Pathogenesis to Targeted Therapeutic StrategiesNeuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, accounting for approximately 8%-10% of pediatric malignancies. Due to its extremely heterogeneous clinical manifestations, it is known as the "king of childhood tumors." -
Feb 06, 2026Focus on Rare Diseases | Issue 32: Fanconi Anemia (FA)Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, primarily inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, with approximately 2% being X-linked recessive. The disease is characterized by congenital developmental abnormalities, progressive bone marrow failure, and significantly increased susceptibility to malignancies. Clinical manifestations include café-au-lait spots (55%), short stature (51%), limb defects (43%), craniofacial abnormalities (26%), ocular abnormalities (23%), and renal anomalies. -
Jan 29, 2026Focus on Rare Diseases | Issue 31: Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive genetic disorders caused by defects in key enzymes involved in adrenal corticosteroid synthesis. The core feature is impaired cortisol synthesis, which through negative feedback mechanisms leads to compensatory increased secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), stimulating adrenal cortical hyperplasia while causing abnormal accumulation of precursor substances such as androgens. -
Jan 22, 2026Focus on Rare Diseases | Issue 30: Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)What is Retinitis Pigmentosa? Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a genetically heterogeneous retinal degenerative disorder characterized pathologically by progressive photoreceptor cell death and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy. Common clinical manifestations include night blindness, progressive visual field constriction, and gradual loss of central vision. Typical fundoscopic findings reveal bone spicule-like pigment deposits, generalized attenuation of retinal vessels, and waxy pallor of the optic disc, constituting the classic "triad." Research indicates that RP pathogenesis is closely associated with multiple gene mutations and protein metabolism abnormalities. Based on inheritance patterns, RP is classified into three main types: autosomal dominant (adRP, accounting for approximately 15%–25%), autosomal recessive (arRP, approximately 5%–20%), and X-linked (XLRP, approximately 10%–15%). -
Jan 20, 2026Focus on Rare Diseases | Issue 29: Niemann-Pick Disease (NPD)What is Niemann-Pick Disease? Niemann-Pick Disease (NPD) is an autosomal recessive inherited lysosomal storage disorder, also known as sphingomyelin-cholesterol lipidosis. Based on pathogenesis and clinical manifestations, NPD is primarily classified into two major categories: A/B type and C type.
