Background: According to recent European and Russian monitoring hypospadias and cryptorchidism are the most frequent malformations of the urogenital system in children in the general population. Currently there is a lack of information about the impact of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) on the development of congenital malformations, including the urogenital system, although the presence of this abnormality could lead to male reproductive disorders.</...

Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a common autoimmune disease in pubertal and adolescent girls. In the past years the incidence of this autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland has increased.Objective and hypotheses: We present a 12.5 year old girl who had her first visit at our Pediatric Endocrinology Department at the age of 10 years due to short stature and clinical signs of hypothyroidism. Her height was – 3SD SDS and her BMI was 12.7. ...

Background: Hypophosphatasia (HP) is a rare inherited disorder characterised by defective bone and teeth mineralization because of deficient serum and bone alkaline phosphatase activity due to mutations in the tissue-nonspecific ALP (TNALP) gene. Infantile HP (IHP) is one of the six recognized clinical forms according to age at presentation and clinical features. IHP is characterised by skeletal abnormalities due to demineralization and rachitic changes in the metaphyses, prem...

Background: Iodine deficiency has multiple adverse effects in humans, termed iodine deficiency disorders, due to inadequate thyroid hormone production. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and infancy may impair growth and neurodevelopment of the off-spring and increase infant mortality.Objectives: To evaluate effects of iodine supplementation in pregnant, lactating women and their infants at the East of Ukraine.Methods: Target group...

Introduction: In adolescents and men with PAIS, gynaecomastia has been reported in the majority but its management remains challenging.Objectives: To assess the current management of gynaecomastia as well as clinical characteristics in male PAIS.Materials and Methods: Retrospective review in the I-DSD registry of 46, XY male PAIS who were over the age of 10 years.<p class="abst...

Introduction: 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency (5α--RD) and 17β-HSD type 3 deficiency (17β-HSDD) are rare differences/disorders of sex development (DSD) in which impairment of steroidogenic enzymes causes undervirilisation in patients with a 46,XY genotype. We aim to enlarge the limited knowledge on long-term gonadal function and gonadal pathology in these conditions.Methods: Data on phenotype, laborato...
