Background: Congenital isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (СIHH) is a clinically and genetically heterogenous disorder characterized by absence or abnormal gonadotropin-releasing hormone secretion (GnRH). Adolescents with CIHH have complete or partial pubertal failure. Pathogenic variants in more than 60 genes have been associated with CIHH. CIHH can be complete, partial or reversal. Boys with CIHH may have micropenis and cryptorchidism. Except reprodu...

Objective: Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterized by the following features of the head and face: absence of the ears, down-slanting palpebral fissures, eyelid colobomas, microtia, bilateral choanal atresia and etc. Prevalence of TCS is from 1 per 25,000 to 1 in 50,000 live births. Most of TCS patients don’t have endocrine disorders that is why endocrinologists are not familiar with this condit...

Background: The risk of cardiovascular diseases is increased in girls with TS. The influence by combined GH and estrogen treatment on a condition of cardiovascular system is actively discussed.Objective and hypotheses: We performed this study to assess th effects of combined GH and estrogen treatment on lipid metabolism and systolic function of the left ventricle (LV) in girls with Turner syndrome without clinically relevant cardiac abnormalities.<p ...

Background: The risk of hypertension is estimated to occur in 7–17% of children and adolescents with TS. Even girls with TS who are normotensive have been shown an abnormal circadian BP rhythm, increasing the risk of end-organ hypertensive damage.Objective and hypotheses: We performed this study to assess the effects of GH treatment combined with estrogens for short stature on LV dimensions, systemic BP and lipid metabolism in girls with TS without ...
