To analyze and determine the quality of functioning in different components of GHRH-GH-IGF1 axis in children with Down syndrome (DS).
Systematic review and mini meta-analysis of the literature.
A search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and PsycINFO through August 2022. Eligible studies included pediatric patients with DS who had undergone any laboratory evaluation of the GHRH-GH-IGF1 axis. Two reviewers independently screened articles for eligibility. Results of each type of test were weighed together in patients both with and without DS and were pooled using a random effects meta-analysis.
In total, 20 studies assessed the GHRH-GH-IGF1 axis function. A defect in three major components of GHRH-GH-IGF1 axis was found in a significant proportion of pediatric DS patients.
A significant portion of short-stature pathogenesis in children with DS is associated with impaired GHRH-GH-IGF1 axis function.
分析并确定唐氏综合征(DS)患儿生长激素释放激素-生长激素-胰岛素样生长因子1(GHRH-GH-IGF1)轴不同组成部分的功能质量。
对文献进行系统综述和小型荟萃分析。
截至2022年8月,在PubMed、Embase、Scopus和PsycINFO数据库中进行检索。符合条件的研究包括对GHRH-GH-IGF1轴进行过任何实验室评估的DS儿科患者。两名评审员独立筛选文章的合格性。在患有和未患有DS的患者中,将每种测试的结果进行综合权衡,并采用随机效应荟萃分析进行汇总。
共有20项研究评估了GHRH-GH-IGF1轴功能。在相当一部分DS儿科患者中发现GHRH-GH-IGF1轴的三个主要组成部分存在缺陷。
DS患儿身材矮小发病机制的很大一部分与GHRH-GH-IGF1轴功能受损有关。
