Abstract Background Terminal deletion of chromosome 10p is a rare chromosomal abnormality. We report a neonatal case with a large deletion of 10p15.3p13 diagnosed early because of severe clinical manifestations. Case presentation Our patient presented with specific facial features, hypoparathyroidism, sen sorineural deafness, renal abnormalities, and developmental retardation, and carried a 12.6 Mb deletion in the 10p15.3 p13 region. The terminal 10p deletion involved in our patient is the second largest reported terminal deletion reported to date, and includes the ZMYND11 and GATA3 genes and a partial critical region of the DiGeorge syndrome 2 gene (DGS2). Conclusion On the basis of a literature review, this terminal 10p deletion in the present case is responsible for a specific contiguous gene syndrome. This rare case may help the understanding of the genotype–phenotype spectrum of terminal deletion of chromosome 10p.

Factitious hematuria is a well-described cause of hematuria in adult patients but is rarely seen or considered in children.1-6 In this article, a 5-year-old girl with a history of gross hematuria with more than one pathologic explanation for recurrent hematuria is described. Because of persistent symptoms despite appropriate therapy, a factitious cause was considered. CASE REPORT The patient was the healthy product of the uncomplicated full-term pregnancy of an unmarried woman who reared the child in the home of her mother and sister. The diagnosis of urinary tract infection was made first at 2 years of age. In subsequent radiographic studies, two normal kidneys were identified, with complete duplication of the left collecting system and bilateral grade 2 vesicoureteric reflux.

In Reply.— In our article, we reported on 645 renal abnormalities found in 132 686 school children screened through the use of renal ultrasonography. Of those with renal abnormalities, 50 patients had surgically correctable lesions. The other 595 cases have been examined fully to establish the correct diagnosis and the prevalence of renal abnormalities in school children. However, in this study, the cost to benefit ratio was determined by total expense to number of surgically treatable diseases.

Renal Abnormalities

Bardet Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is an infrequent ciliopathic autosomal recessive genetic disorder that produces many effects and affects various body systems. Consanguineous marriage is conventionally considered as the most frequent etiology. The primary characteristics of the disorder are gradual visual impairment caused by retinal abnormalities, excessive weight gain, learning disabilities, Postaxial Polydactyly, Hypogonadism in males, renal abnormalities (kidney malformations and/or malfunctions). It affects both males and females. There is currently no specific cure for BBS but children with BBS benefit greatly from therapies like physical, occupational, speech and vision services. We, here, have presented a young boy of 15 years with the features of Bardet Biedl Syndrome.

Endothelial dysfunction is a characteristic feature during the renal damage induced by mild hyperuricemia. The mechanism by which uric acid reduces the bioavailability of intrarenal nitric oxide is not known. We tested the hypothesis that oxidative stress might contribute to the endothelial dysfunction and glomerular hemodynamic changes that occur with hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats by administration of the uricase inhibitor, oxonic acid (750 mg/kg per day). The superoxide scavenger, tempol (15 mg/kg per day), or placebo was administered simultaneously with the oxonic acid. All groups were evaluated throughout a 5-wk period. Kidneys were fixed by perfusion and afferent arteriole morphology, and tubulointerstitial 3-nitrotyrosine, 4-hydroxynonenal, NOX-4 subunit of renal NADPH-oxidase, and angiotensin II were quantified. Hyperuricemia induced intrarenal oxidative stress, increased expression of NOX-4 and angiotensin II, and decreased nitric oxide bioavailability, systemic hypertension, renal vasoconstriction, and afferent arteriolopathy. Tempol treatment reversed the systemic and renal alterations induced by hyperuricemia despite equivalent hyperuricemia. Moreover, because tempol prevented the development of preglomerular damage and decreased blood pressure, glomerular pressure was maintained at normal values as well. Mild hyperuricemia induced by uricase inhibition causes intrarenal oxidative stress, which contributes to the development of the systemic hypertension and the renal abnormalities induced by increased uric acid. Scavenging of the superoxide anion in this setting attenuates the adverse effects induced by hyperuricemia.
