Background: Autosomal dominant neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus (adNDI) is characterized by arginine vasopressin (AVP) deficiency resulting from mutations in the AVP-NPII genePatients and Methods: We analyzed AVP-NPII gene in 13 kindreds with familial NDIAim: To describe the clinical and molecular features of Italian kindreds with adNDIResults</str...

Background: Children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) have an increased risk of developing optic pathway gliomas (OPGs) during childhood. Although these tumors usually have a benign course, some cases result in significant clinical symptoms, including endocrinological disorders.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of this study is to evaluate the endocrinological complications of OPGs involving the chiasm in children with NF1.Metho...

Introduction:Up to 20% of children with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) develops low-grade optic pathway gliomas(OPGs) that can result in neuroendocrinopathy.The aim of the study was to identify prognostic factors for developing neuroendocrinopathies in patients with NF1 and OPGs before any treatment.Methods: Records of 117 children with NF1 and OPGs followed at 4 Italian centers between 1997-20...

Background: Children with familial forms of central diabetes insipidus (CDI) display polyuria and polydipsia within the first years of life.Objective and hypotheses: We hypothesize that children with an early-onset idiopathic CDI might be affected by de novo genetic mutations.Method: Eleven children aged between 1 month and 7 years with polyuria and polydipsia and negative family history were enrolled. In nine of them with...
