Identifying several patient-related factors that predicted permanent growth hormone deficiency (GHD)

Mericq Veronica , Kariyawasam Dulanjalee , Iñiguez German , Polak Michel

GHD is the most common endocrine disorder in children with short stature (~1 in 4000). Appropriate diagnosis should synthesize auxological, biochemical and neuroradiological data. However, until now there are significant controversies, especially from the laboratory interpretation. A false positive diagnosis can lead to a significant wasted expenditure and unnecessary exposure to rare potential adverse effects. Given these open issues about biochemical diagnosis of GHD in chil...

Efficacy, Observer-Reported Outcomes, and Safety of Once-Weekly Somapacitan in Children with Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD): 4-Year Results from the REAL 3 Trial

Sävendahl Lars , Battelino Tadej , Højby Rasmussen Michael , Brod Meryl , Wai Lee Kai , Saenger Paul , Horikawa Reiko

Children with GHD are currently treated with daily subcutaneous growth hormone (GH) injections, which can be burdensome. Somapacitan is a long-acting GH derivative in development for once-weekly use in children with GHD. REAL 3 (NCT02616562) is a phase 2, multinational, randomised, open label, controlled trial assessing efficacy and safety of somapacitan vs daily GH (Norditropin®). Prepubertal, GH-naïve children with GHD received 0.04 (n=16), 0.08 (n</e...

Efficiency of The Genetic Study in the Assessment of Short Stature in Pediatrics

Murillo-Vallés Marta , Ros-Peña Andrea , Valls-Llussà Aina , Herrero-Espinet Javier

Introduction: Short stature is a common disorder in children that can become a challenge for clinical and molecular diagnosis. Recent studies in genetics and the implementation of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in growth disorders have demonstrated the great genetic heterogeneity of short stature and the existence of highly varied phenotypes. The absence of homogeneous clinical criteria for conducting studies makes it difficult to evaluate the efficacy of th...

Introduction: Aromatase excess syndrome (AEXS) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by enhanced extraglandular aromatization of androgens and estrogen excess. Genomic rearrangements in chromosome 15q21 are found to result in overexpression of the aromatase gene CYP19A1. In males it is characterized by pre- or peripubertal gynecomastia, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, advanced bone age and short adult height. Only a few female patients have been...

TS is also associated with gonadal failure and increased risk of fracture. Spinal trabecular bone score (TBS) is a novel bone imaging tool that can offer better bone evaluation in TS.Aim: To evaluate TBS in TS, its association with rhGH...

Introduction: Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS) is a rare, well-defined genetic disease characterized by intrauterine and postnatal growth retardation, short stature, triangular face, relative macrocephaly and body asymmetry. The most common molecular pathologies are loss of methylation (50%) of the imprinting center in the p15.5 region of the paternal 11th chromosome and maternal uniparental disomy of the 7th chromosome (5-10%).

ERF mutation in a patient with Noonan-like phenotype, type 1 diabetes mellitus and epilepsy

Schiavariello Concetta , Tamburrino Federica , Piazza Francesca , Perri Annamaria , Maltoni Giulio , Rossi Cesare , Pession Andrea , Mazzanti Laura , Scarano Emanuela

ERF protein is a major binding target of ERK1/2 kinases, key effectors of the RAS–MEK–ERK signaling cascade. ERF has a role as a negative transcriptional regulator of RAS/MAPK mitogenic pathway (1) and, in theory, a loss-of-function mutation (LOF) in ERF could cause a Rasopathy phenotype. To date, LOF variants of ERF have been reported in 45 individuals with craniosynostosis but without a Noonan-like phenotype. There is only one case report describing a patient wit...

Introduction: Short stature is frequently caused by SHOX variants causing functional deficiency. SHOX resides in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR1) of the sex chromosomes and SHOX/enhancer alterations result in a broad phenotypic range: from Langer mesomelic dysplasia, Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis to idiopathic short stature (ISS).

Introduction: Turner syndrome is a relatively common chromosomal abnormality affecting 1:2000 girls. Virilization can occur in girls with Turner syndrome which is in most cases associated with the presence of an Y chromosome. Mosaicism is found in 25% of the karyotypes, in 6% of those the Y chromosome is present. This could lead to development of androgen producing gonadoblastoma/dysgerminoma.
