Introduction: The human fetal adrenals (HFA) produce high levels of steroids. The gland is distinguishable from the 7th gestational week and can be separated in two zones: the fetal zone in the center which correspond of 80 % of the gland and the definitive zone in the periphery. At this time of the development, neural crest cells are reaching the adrenal primordium, producing catecholamines. A third zone, the transitional zone appears later in the early 2nd t...

Introduction: Non-communicable diseases are recognized as a major cause of morbidity in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). There are 21 francophone countries (>100 million speak French) in Sub-Saharan Africa (FSSA). We identified only 19 pediatric endocrinologists in FSSA (37% in Cameroon and Senegal) mostly trained in France or through the successful anglophone “Paediatric Endocrine Training Centers for (West) Africa” (PETC[W]A) offered i...

Dynamic changes of reproductive hormones in male minipuberty: Temporal dissociation of Leydig- and Sertoli-cell activity

S. Busch Alexander , Lindhardt Ljubicic Marie , N Upners Emmie , Bistrup Fischer Margit , Lau Raket Lars , Frederiksen Hanne , Albrethsen Jakob , Holm Johannsen Trine , P Hagen Casper , Juul Anders

Background: The male Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal (HPG) axis is transiently active during the first months of life with surging serum concentrations of reproductive hormones. This period, termed minipuberty, promotes masculinization, including testicular, and penile growth, as well as further testicular descent in males. It appears to be essential for priming specific cell types, i.e. Sertoli-, Leydig-, and germ cells, including subsequent growth and maturat...

Parental imprinting is an epigenetic process leading to monoallelic expression of certain genes depending on their parental origin. Imprinting disorders are a set of rare diseases that mainly affect growth and metabolism from birth to adulthood. These disorders are mainly due to methylation defects in imprinting control region that drive the abnormal expression of imprinted genes. Moreover, patients with imprinting disorders may present overlapping clinical features that can b...

Growth Hormone Deficiency in Adult Survivors of Childhood Brain Tumors Treated with Irradiation

Introduction: Brain tumors are the most common solid neoplasm in children, and treatment often includes high-dose irradiation of the central nervous system (CNS). Although not universal, growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is a very common endocrine late effect after CNS irradiation in childhood. The consequences of GHD in adults are many e.g., reduced bone mineral density, fatigue, decreased lean body mass and adiposity, which implies that adults with severe GHD ...

Cardiometabolic Health in Adolescents Conceived by Assisted Reproductive Technologies: Preliminary Results from the Munich heARTerY-Study

Langer Magdalena , Vilsmaier Theresa , Kramer Marie , Sciuk Franziska , Kolbinger Brenda , Jakob André , Rogenhofer Nina , Dalla-Pozza Robert , Alexander Haas Nikolaus , Sebastian Oberhoffer Felix

Background: Since its introduction in 1978, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been widely used to treat infertility. Worldwide, over 8 million children have been conceived by ART. Literature suggests that ART-adolescents potentially display altered vascular function. However, data concerning the cardiometabolic impact on the vascular function in ART-adolescents is limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of blood lipids and HbA1c-levels...

Growpati Study: Clinical and genetic characterization of a cohort of patients with short stature due to severe primary IGF1 deficiency

Stoupa Athanasia , Flechtner Isabelle , Viaud Magali , Pinto Graziella , Samara-Boustani Dinane , Gonzalez-Briceno Laura , Thalassinos Caroline , Amselem Serge , Legendre Marie , Netchine Irene , Brioude Frederic , Polak Michel

Background: Severe primary insulin-growth factor-1 (IGF1) deficiency (SPIGF1D) is a rare cause of short stature. Diagnosis is based on low basal IGF1 concentration, short stature, normal or elevated growth hormone concentrations and absence of any secondary causes of growth failure. Thanks to advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, genetic etiology of SPIGF1D is expanding.Objectives: • Identify th...

Copeptin Kinetics and its Relationship to Osmolality During Rehydration for Diabetic Ketoacidosis in Children: An Observational Study

Burckhardt Marie-Anne , Beglinger Svetlana , Gotta Verena , Renggli Luzia , Bachmann Sara , Hess Melanie , Rentsch Katharina , Koch Gilbert , Zumsteg Urs , Jones Timothy , Pfister Marc , Szinnai Gabor

Background: Copeptin is a surrogate marker for arginine vasopressin (AVP) release in response to hyperosmolal stimuli such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). We aimed to characterize the temporal course (kinetics) of serum osmolality and copeptin during rehydration and insulin therapy in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and DKA, and the relationship between both (dynamics).Methods: An observational multi-center study was...

LGR4-Wnt β-Catenin Signalling Directs GnRH Network Development, with Defects Leading to Self-Limited Delayed Puberty

Mancini Alessandra , Howard Sasha R. , Cabrera Claudia P. , Barnes Michael R. , David Alessia , Wehkalampi Karoliina , Vassart Gilbert , Cariboni Anna , Garcia Marie Isabelle , Guasti Leonardo , Dunkel Leo

Background: The initiation of puberty is dependent upon an augmentation of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion from the hypothalamus. Development of the GnRH neuroendocrine network in embryonic life depends on coordinated migration of neurons from the vomeronasal organ in the nose to the forebrain. We have previously demonstrated that dysregulation in GnRH neuronal migration leads to delayed pubertal onset. Late puberty affects up to 2% of the ...

Investigation of Imprinting Alterations in MKRN3 and DLK1 in a Cohort of Girls with Central Precocious Puberty Through Specific DNA Methylation Analysis

Canton Ana , Steunou Virginie , Brito Vinicius , Laure Sobrier Marie , Montenegro Luciana , Bessa Danielle , Mendonca Berenice B , Netchine Irène , Latronico Ana Claudia

Background: Loss of imprinting has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several human diseases. Monogenic causes of central precocious puberty (CPP) were identified in families with loss-of-function mutations in two paternally expressed imprinted genes: Makorin zinc finger 3 (MKRN3) and Delta-like 1 homolog (DLK1). The role of imprinting defects in CPP has not been described so far.Objective: To inves...
