The deficit of lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is an infrequent (1: 40,000–300,000 prevalence), autosomal recessive, monogenic pathology. It can aggressively (Wolman’s disease): malabsorption and severe dyslipidemia with survival less than one year of life. The cholesterol ester storage disease (CESD) presents with dyslipidemia, liver disease and early cardiovascular disease.Goals: Descriptive study of the prevalence of LAL deficiency and carriers ...

Today we have an increase in patients with early-ahead forecast pubarche with impaired bone carving for advancement but organicidad criteria (HSC) but if dysfunction or adrenal hyperandrogenism and/or ovarian There are several anti-androgen drugs, all without usual pediatric use (use ‘of label’). Low-dose flutamide 62.5 mgr/day has been postulated as a treatment in these cases, but its use is restricted due to the risk of side effects (gynecomastia and liver involvem...

It is known that more checks of blood glucose, metabolic control of patients with type 1 suffering Dm improvement. Improved technology has made it possible to develop devices interstitial glucose control both blinded (retrospective) and open (in real time). The FREE STYLE free device is the latest appearance on the Spanish/European market. Although initially not seem indicated in <18 th, these are the a priori more could benefit from an improvement of metabolic control.</p...

Background: Gorham-Stout syndrome (GSD) is a rare disorder characterized by lymphangiomatosis, osteolysis and potentially lethal in the presence of chilothorax.Objective and hypotheses: As the management of GSD is not univocal and outcomes are unpredictable we build a multifaced protocol in order to study its natural history, biomarkers of bone disease and to treat uniformly patients.Method: Seven patients (five males, two females,...

Background: The effects of GH deficiency (GHD) and GH replacement therapy (GHRT) on body composition and functional measures of physical fitness are largely unknown particularly in children.Study aim: To evaluate body composition, muscular strength and flexibility, and exercise tolerance in GHD children at baseline and after one-year GHRT.Patients and methods: We enrolled 19 children and adolescents with untreated ...

Background: Nail-Patella syndrome (NPS) or hereditary onycho-osteodysplasia (OMIM: 161200) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by nail and elbow dysplasia, patellar aplasia or hypoplasia, nephropathy and intra-ocular hypertension. The diagnosis confirmes by pathogenic variant in the LMX1B gene. There are reports of short stature in patients with this syndrome, however, data of the use of somatropin have not been presented. We describe the ...

Background: Triglyceride (TG)/HDL ratio has recently been considered a index of cardio-metabolic risk in healthy and obese subjects. Diet, lifestyle indexes, anthropometric parameters, and metabolic control are the variables with possible influence on belonging to a certain cardio-metabolic risk group.Objective and hypotheses: To identify whether HbA1c per se has an influence on TG/HDL and to study other possible variables influencing the ratio....

GR and GT are diamniotic monochorial preterm twins (32 GA), both AGA (GR: W -1 SDS, L -1.5 SDS; GT: W and L 0 SDS), with normal karyotype and array-CGH on amniotic fluid, with no major complications associated to prematurity. At birth GT presented bilaterally cryptorchidism associated with micropenis, GR presented normal male genitalia. In the first year of life a severe growth deceleration in length (from -3SDS to -5 SDS) was observed, mainly after six months of life in both ...

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a condition characterized by one or more hyperfunctioning parathyroids leading to hypercalcemia and inappropriately normal or elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Clinically it can occur asymptomatically or manifests with osteopenia, increased risk of pathological fractures, nephrolithiasis, gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain) or asthenia. We report the case of A.L.M, a 15-year-old female who went to the Em...

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome is a genomic disorder caused by 4p16.3 deletion with facial dysmorphology, growth retardation, developmental/intellectual delay and seizures. After 165 kb critical region encompassing NSD2 was identified, most recently, three NSD2 loss of function variants was uncovered in patients with overlapping phenotype with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. In our study, a NSD2 variant, c.1577dupG (p.Asn527fs*14) was identified in two patie...
