Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a disease characterized by a defect in one of steroidogenic enzymes or the gene encoding the transport proteins. Frequency of occurrence is 1: 14000 newborns.Objective: To determine the age, clinical manifestations, the incidence and the effectiveness of treatment various forms CAH in children.Materials: Medical History of 35 patients aged from ...

Type 1 diabetes is one of the common chronic diseases of children’s age. In recent years there is an increase in the rate of primary morbidity of 1 type diabetes in children with a displacement of peak manifestation for age 5-9 years. Medical History of 110 patients aged from 0.5 to 18 years diagnosed with 1 type diabetes have been analyzed in the Republican Center for Pediatric Endocrinology with a division into comparison group (2018- 2019) and control group (2020). Com...

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of thyroid diseases in children with Turner syndrome (TS).Methods: This is a retrospective study, analyzing clinical data from medical records of 167 patients with TS from 3 to 18 years, who were regularly followed-up in the University hospital (Minsk). Depending on the karyotype, 4 groups of patients were identified: the first group with karyotype 45,X (n</e...

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the associations of metabolic status and eating behavior (EB) in young children and variants of energy metabolism genes.Materials and Methods: A longitudinal study of 106 children in the dynamics of the first 2 years of life was carried out. Groups of children were identified taking into account BW at birth (large-weight by gestation (n=50), underweight by gestati...

Background: Hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas in children and adolescents are rare.Methods: We report clinical course, management and outcome of 6 cases diagnoses in 2013-2019.Results: Patients (3M, 3F), aged 9,5 – 16,5 years at referral. In them, 3 ACTH-secreting adenomas (ACTHA) and 3 prolactinomas (PROLA) were recognized. The family history for endocrine tumors was negat...

Objective: To evaluate bone mineral density (BMD) and its relationship with vitamin D in children with obesity.Methods: We examined 110 children in the University Hospital (Minsk) from 2015 to 2018 yrs. Their anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index (BMI)) were determined. Body composition with evaluating of mineral component were made by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry with the calculation of feet, hands, spine, ribs, hips BMD (g/cm<s...

Study aim was to evaluate the contribution of DRD2 gene TaqIA polymorphism, plasma leptin and dopamine concentrations to obesity development in children with different adiposity classes, depending on gender and pubertal stage.Materials and methods: 223 children aged from 11 to 17.9 years were involved in the retrospective one-stage analysis, 179 of them were randomly genotyped in the TaqIA of DRD2 gene and blood dopamine (BD) concentrations were detected...

Objective and hypotheses: To establish clinical, laboratory peculiarities of manifestation, short-term effects of performance of hormonotherapy children with CACH.Method: We examined 32 children with CACH (29 children – with salt-losing form (SLF) (boys/girls=18/11), 3 – virile form (VF) (boy/girls=1/2)) in onset and after 1 year of therapy. Weight and growth dynamics, parameters of potassium (K), sodium (Na), glucose, adrenocorticotropic hormo...

Background: Serotonine transporter gene (SLC6A4) polymorphism is one of genetic aspects of appetite and mood disorders.Objective and hypotheses: To determine the frequencies of 5-HTTLPR locus in promotor part of serotonine transporter gene (SLC6A4) polymorphism in children with different forms of obesity.Method: We examined 191 pubertal obese children. Patients were divided: Group 1 (simple obesity) 143 children, 14.3±1.8 year...

Background: Polymorphic genes Val158Met gene catechol-O-metiltrasferaz (COMT) are used to be responsible for less neurotransmitters utilization.Objective and hypotheses: To determine the peculiarities of neurotransmitters levels in children with obesity and different genotypes of COMT gene.Method: We examined 191 pubertal obese children. Patients were divided: Group1 (simple obesity) 143 children, 14.3±1.8 years, 30.6±2.8...
