HbA1c Level as a Predictive Marker of Progression to Clinical Diabetes

Petruzelkova Lenka , Vcelakova Jana , Labikova Jana , Lebl Jan , Kolouskova Stanislava

Background: It has been shown that a proportion of relatives with multiple islet auto antibodies do not develop diabetes for many years, indicating that a more accurate marker of advanced insulitis is needed.Objective and Hypotheses: We evaluated whether the level of HbA1c can discriminate children at risk of T1D onset in a cohort of auto antibody positive relatives.Method: A total of 74 subjects <18 years of age who were parti...

Fracture Incidence is Not Associated with the Six-Year Development of Trabecular BMD in Paediatric Turner Syndrome Patients

Soucek Ondrej , Sumnik Zdenek , Snajderova Marta , Kolouskova Stanislava , Lebl Jan

Background: Increased fracture risk and decreased bone mineral density (BMD) have been demonstrated by several studies in Turner syndrome (TS). However, longitudinal data on BMD development in childhood and adolescence and a reliable densitometric predictor of fractures in TS are still lacking.Objective and hypotheses: Our aim was to longitudinally assess BMD in paediatric TS patients and test whether trabecular BMD development over six years of observat...

Girls with Turner Syndrome have Normal Muscle Force but Decreased Muscle Power

Soucek Ondrej , Lebl Jan , Matyskova Jana , Snajderova Marta , Kolouskova Stanislava , Pruhova Stepanka , Hlavka Zdenek , Sumnik Zdenek

Background: Turner syndrome (TS) associates with decreased bone mineral density and altered bone geometry, a risk factors leading to increased fracture rate. Although hypogonadism or SHOX gene haploinsufficiency are the probable causes, the exact mechanism remains unclarified. Particularly, the muscle function as an important determinant of bone strength has yet not been widely studied in TS patients.Objective and hypotheses: We hypothesised there is mus...

Genetic Aetiology Predicts Growth Hormone (GH) Treatment Outcomes in Children Born Small-For-Gestational-Age with Persistent Short Stature (SGA-SS). Lessons from a Single-Centre Cohort

Lebl Jan , Toni Ledjona , Plachy Lukas , Kucerova Petra , Elblova Lenka , Sumnik Zdenek , Kolouskova Stanislava , Snajderova Marta , Obermannova Barbora , Pruhova Stepanka

Background: SGA-SS, defined as birth weight and/or birth length below -2SD for gestational age and postnatal statural height below -2.5SD according to age- and sex-specific standards, is a heterogeneous condition reflexing exogenous (maternal, placental) or endogenous (foetal) inadequacies. Within the past two decades, a handful of genetic causes of SGA-SS have been elucidated. However, how each genetic aetiology impacts individual GH treatment outcomes awaits...

Deciphering Genetic Aetiology Among Children Born Small-For-Gestational-Age with Persistent Short Stature (SGA-SS): Phenotypic Characteristics at Diagnosis in a Large Single-Centre Cohort

Toni Ledjona , Plachy Lukas , Kucerova Petra , Elblova Lenka , Sumnik Zdenek , Kolouskova Stanislava , Snajderova Marta , Obermannova Barbora , Pruhova Stepanka , Lebl Jan

Background: SGA-SS is a heterogeneous condition defined as birth weight and/or birth length below -2SD for gestational age and postnatal height below -2.5SD, according to age-and sex-specific normative values. Despite being an indication for growth hormone (GH) therapy for 15 years, aetiology and prediction of treatment outcomes in most of SGA-SS children awaits elucidation.Aim: To decipher genetic aetiologies among a la...

Comparison of Manual and Automated Bone Age Assessment in 1285 Children and Adolescents Aged 5 to 16 Years

Maratova Klara , Zemkova Daniela , Lebl Jan , Soucek Ondrej , Pruhova Stepanka , Kolouskova Stanislava , Snajderova Marta , Krasnicanova Hana , Sumnik Zdenek

Background: Skeletal maturation is the most reliable indicator of biological age in children and adolescents. The evaluation of hand and wrist X-Ray according to Tanner-Whitehouse (TW3) or Greulich-Pyle (GP) are the most commonly used methods for biological age assessment. Automated bone age assessment has recently become increasingly popular, however a large independent study comparing automated and manual evaluation of bone age is still missing. The aim of this study was to ...

NPR2 Gene Mutations were Found in 5.4% Children with Familial Short Stature

Introduction: C-type natriuretic peptide receptor encoded by NPR2 gene stimulates chondrocyte differentiation and hypertrophy and extracellular matrix production within the growth plate. The phenotypical spectrum of NPR2 mutations is broad, from severe autosomal recessive acromesomelic dysplasia to milder autosomal dominant growth disorders. Some children with NPR2 variants are treated with growth hormone (GH), however, with the inco...

High rate of positive genetic findings in children born small for gestational age with persistent short stature (SGA-SS): Growth plate genes as key regulators of intrauterine growth

Toni Ledjona , Plachy Lukas , Dusatkova Petra , Anne Amaratunga Shenali , Kolouskova Stanislava , Obermannova Barbora , Snajderova Marta , Sumnik Zdenek , Pruhova Stepanka , Lebl Jan ,

Background: Ten percent of children born small for gestational age fail to catch-up and remain short during childhood (SGA-SS). Several genes causing SGA-SS have been described, however, in most cases, the mechanisms of prenatal and postnatal growth impairment remain unknown.Aim: To decipher genetic etiologies within a large single-center cohort of SGA-SS children in order to better understand the pathophysiological mech...

The genetic landscape of children born small for gestational age with persistent short stature

Toni Ledjona , Plachy Lukas , Dusatkova Petra , Anne Amaratunga Shenali , Elblova Lenka , Sumnik Zdenek , Kolouskova Stanislava , Snajderova Marta , Obermannova Barbora , Pruhova Stepanka , Lebl Jan

Background: Approximately 10% of children born small for gestational age (SGA) fail to catch-up nd remain short (SGA-SS). Although several mechanisms causing SGA-SS have been elucidated, the primary cause remains speculative in most cases.Aim: To decipher genetic causes of SGA-SS defined as birth length and/or birth weight <-2 SD for gestational age, and body height <-2.5 SD after the 3rd year of life within a larg...

How to detect children with monogenic etiology of familial short stature?

Plachy Lukas , Petruzelkova Lenka , Dusatkova Petra , Maratova Klara , Zemkova Dana , Kolouskova Stanislava , Snajderova Marta , Obermannova Barbora , Sumnik Zdenek , Lebl Jan , Pruhova Stepanka

Introduction: Familial short stature (FSS) describes vertically transmitted growth disorders. Traditionally, polygenic inheritance is presumed, but monogenic inheritance seems to occur more frequently than expected. Clinical predictors of monogenic FSS have not been elucidated thus far. The aim of the study was to identify the monogenic etiology and its clinical predictors in FSS children.Patients and Methods: Of 747 pat...
