Coexistence of Autoimmune Disorders in children newly diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Selim Nihad , Abdelaziz Foued , Chebini Yahia , Lotfi Boustil Ahmed , Bouchair Nadira

Introduction: Children with type 1 diabetes are at significant risk of developing autoimmune diseases. The international consensus of ISPAD 2022 updated the modalities and pace of screening for the latter. Our goal is to determine the frequency of autoimmune disorders at the time of diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in our department.Materials and Methods: This is a screening for autoimmune thyroiditis and celiac disease in a...

Thioredoxin Reductase 2 (TXNRD2) Variant As A Cause Of Micropenis, Undescended Testis And Selective Glucocorticoid Deficiency

Patjamontri Supitcha , Lucas-Herald Angela , McMillan Martin , Prasad Rathi , Metherell Louise , McGowan Ruth , Tobias Edward , Faisal Ahmed S.

Introduction: The molecular aetiology of familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is very heterogeneous. A recent report of a genetic variant in TXNRD2, the gene encoding thioredoxin reductase Type 2, in a South Asian kindred with FGD suggests that the maintenance of redox balance may be critical for adrenocortical function. We present the second report of an individual from another south Asian family harbouring a different pathological variant in <em...

We studied anthropometric measures (z scores) from birth to 2 years in 115 infants who were born with birth weight <2.5 kg but > 1.5 kg. They were divided into two groups based on Fenton's preterm growth standards at birth. Group 1 (AGA) with weight z score (WAZ) > -2 (n = 100), and group 2 (SGA) with WAZ < -2 (n = 15). Postnatal growth data were evaluated based on the WHO growth standard without correction for prematurity.<p class="abste...
