“…After filtering out duplicate and irrelevant literature, a total of 15 articles were identified, describing only 41 cases across the world (Table 1) with the pathological PIGT mutation [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Anthropometric data (if available at birth) was plotted on modified Fenton's charts or World Health Organization Multicentre Growth Reference Study (WHOMGRS) charts depending on preterm or term gestation, respectively [20]. Clinical and genetic details, along with important laboratory investigations, were recorded in a pre-designed case record form and transferred to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA) for further analysis.…”

Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 3 (MCAHS3) results from mutations in the phosphatidylinositol glycan biosynthesis class T (PIGT) gene leading to defects in glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase complex (GPI-TA) synthesis. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol serves as an anchor to more than 150 mammalian proteins for attachment on cell surfaces, enabling specific functional properties. Mutations in the PIGT gene result in disruption of this extremely important post-translational protein modification, yielding dysfunctional proteins leading to MCAHS3. An exhaustive literature search was conducted across various electronic databases to reveal only 41 reported cases of MCAHS3 worldwide, emphasizing the rarity of this condition. Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 3 has been reported as secondary to 18 different known PIGT variants to date, manifesting as a varying spectrum of craniofacial dysmorphism, developmental delay with epilepsy, cardiac and renal malformations, and unique features in biochemical testing and neuroimaging. This review aims to highlight the constellation of clinical symptoms, diagnostic modalities, and management challenges associated with MCAHS3 cases. It would help determine optimal diagnostic and treatment strategies for newly identified cases and facilitate new research on this rare condition.

Nutritional Assessment in Preterm Infants: A Practical Approach in the NICU

2019

A practical approach for nutritional assessment in preterm infants under intensive care, based on anthropometric measurements and commonly used biochemical markers, is suggested. The choice of anthropometric charts depends on the purpose: Fenton 2013 charts to assess intrauterine growth, an online growth calculator to monitor intra-hospital weight gain, and Intergrowth-21st standards to monitor growth after discharge. Body weight, though largely used, does not inform on body compartment sizes. Mid-upper arm circumference estimates body adiposity and is easy to measure. Body length reflects skeletal growth and fat-free mass, provided it is accurately measured. Head circumference indicates brain growth. Skinfolds estimate reasonably body fat. Weight-to-length ratio, body mass index, and ponderal index can assess body proportionality at birth. These and other derived indices, such as the mid-upper arm circumference to head circumference ratio, could be proxies of body composition but need validation. Low blood urea nitrogen may indicate insufficient protein intake. Prealbumin and retinol binding protein are good markers of current protein status, but they may be affected by non-nutritional factors. The combination of a high serum alkaline phosphatase level and a low serum phosphate level is the best biochemical marker for the early detection of metabolic bone disease.

“…For neonate assessment, growth charts are used to evaluate birth weight, length, and head, abdominal, and chest circumference [4]. Yudkin et al [5], developed fetal growth charts for the British population in 1987, and more recently Dubiel et al [6], developed growth charts for the Polish population.…”

Polish growth charts for preterm infants — comparison with reference Fenton charts

et al. 2021

Objectives: Proper infant classification, particularly a preterm infant, as small or large for gestational age, is crucial to undertake activities to improve postnatal outcomes.This study aimed to assess the usability of the Fenton preterm growth charts to evaluate the anthropometric parameters of Polish preterm neonates. Material and methods: In this single-center, retrospective study data extracted from the medical documentation of preterm neonates born 2002-2013 were analyzed. Body weight, body length, and head circumference were evaluated and used to develop growth charts, which were compared with the reference Fenton growth charts.Results: This study included 3,205 preterm neonates, of whom 937 were born before 30 weeks of pregnancy. Overall, 11.04%, 3.3%, and 5.2% of neonates were below the 10 th percentile on the Fenton charts for birth weight, body length, and head circumference, respectively. Only 26 (6.67%) of 390 analyzed anthropological parameters differed significantly between the study and the Fenton groups. Statistically significant differences between the study and the Fenton populations were found only in body length for both sexes, and in head circumference for female neonates. Conclusions:The growth charts developed in this study for a population of Polish preterm neonates corresponded to the Fenton charts in terms of birth weight but differed in terms of body length and head circumference. Our findings suggest the need to evaluate growth charts for Polish preterm newborns.
