e-REC Capturing The Occurrence and Burden Of COVID-19 Infections In People With Rare Genetic Obesity Disorders

Kerkhof Gerthe , Wabitsch Martin , Bryce Jillian , Johannsson Gudmundur , Ahmed Faisal , van den Akker Erica

Introduction: Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020, the European Registries For Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa), which is a collaboration between Endo-ERN, ESPE and ESE provided the possibility for registration of cases. Obesity is a risk factor for severe COVID-19 disease course in adults. In children and adolescents, COVID-19 disease course is much milder, but has also been identified as risk factor. As rare genetic obesity disorde...

Background: overexpression of the oncogene Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), a Hippo pathway target, associates with increased cell proliferation in some human cancers. There is not data on adrenocortical tumors (ACT). YAP1 is a potential target of Wnt/β-catenin pathway, which plays an important role in ACTs.Objective and hypotheses: to evaluate the role of YAP1 and its interaction with the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in ACT.Met...

Polymorphisms Analyze in Gene CYP21A2 Gene Associated with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Jorgens Prado Mayara , Maria Dornelles da Silva Claudia , Grandi Tarciana , Martins de Castro Simone , Kopacek Cristiane , Lucia Rosa Rossetti Maria

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is an autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism due to impaired activity of one enzyme required for cortisol biosynthesis. Steroid 21-hydroxylase (21OH) deficiency is the cause in more than 90% of the patients. The 21OH is encoded by the CYP21A2 gene located on the chromosome 6 in the region known as the RCCX module. Due to the high homology and tandem-repeat organization of the RCCX module, this region of the genome is subjected to...

Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Management with Few Blood Glucose (BG) Measurements but Frequent Free Adjustment of Treatment with Cell Phones or E-mails

Bibal Cecile , Laure Castell Anne , Aboumrad Brigitte , Lucchini Philippe , Bougneres Pierre

Background: Many children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are asked to measure blood glucose (BG) 4–6 times a day routinely to adjust insulin dosages. There is no evidence though that such high frequency is beneficial to HbA1C or glycemic profile, although this is often claimed.Objectives: We challenged ‘the more BG measurements, the better control’ dogma for alleviation of T1D burden in child life and evaluation of HbA1C.<p class="abstext"...

17OHP levels to diagnose Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency (NC-CAH) in children with precocious pubarche

Chagas Nathália , Aragon Davi , Mermejo Livia , de Castro Margaret , Moreira Ayrton , Antonini Sonir

Background: Basal 17OHP levels to indicate an ACTH-stimulation test and post-ACTH 17OHP cut-off levels diagnosing NC-CAH vary among different guidelines.Objective: To establish the performance of basal and post-ACTH 17OHP concentrations for the NC-CAH diagnosis in children with precocious pubarche (PP).Methods: Clinical, biochemical, and molecular analysis from 202 PP patients subm...

Modulation of GH-1 Splicing as Potential Strategy to Rescue GH Deficiency Type II

Miletta Maria Consolata , Fluck Christa E , Mullis Primus-E

Background: Isolated GH deficiency type II (IGHD II), the autosomal-dominant form of GH deficiency, is mainly caused by specific splicing mutations in the human GH (hGH) gene (GH-1). These mutations, occurring in and around exon 3, cause complete exon 3 skipping and produce a dominant-negative 17.5-kDa GH isoform that reduces the accumulation and secretion of wt-GH.Objective and hypotheses: As the severity of IGHD II inversely correlate...

Increased height and IGF1 serum levels in children with non-neurofibromatosis type 1 gliomas

Introduction: Gliomas are the most common solid tumours during childhood. In children with neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and optic pathway glioma (OPG), growth hormone excess has been described. However, this phenomenon has not been reported in children with OPG without NF1. We aimed to describe the growth and IGFs/IGFBP3 levels in a large cohort of paediatric patients with non-NF1- associated central nervous system (CNS) tumours.Method...

Shox Deficiency in Children with Short Stature: Response To Recombinant Growth Hormone Therapy (rGH)

Valiani Margherita , Tyutyusheva Nina , Randazzo Emioli , Bertelloni Silvano , Michelucci Angela , Adelaide Caligo Maria , Peroni Diego

Background:Short stature may be due to various pathological conditions or may be idiopathic. SHOX (Short Stature Homeobox on X chromosome) gene is involved in the regulation of skeletal growth and is a main cause of short stature on monogenic basis. The frequency of this condition in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) was reported to range from 2 to 17%. The phenotypic spectrum is heterogeneous, varying from Léri-Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) ...

Disrupting the Norm: The Experience of Young People with DSD

Steers Denise , Andrews Georgia , Collings Sunny , Ballantyne Angela , Stubbe Maria , Wiltshire Esko

The experiences of older adults with Variations in Sex Characteristics (VSC or Differences/Disorders in Sex Development/DSD) are well documented. However there has been a gap in the literature with respect to representing the voices of younger people. This qualitative research study has been conducted in collaboration with Intersex Trust Aotearoa New Zealand. Ten young people with VSC were recruited via health professionals, intersex advocates, support groups and social media ...

Endocrine Late Effects In Survival Children With High-Risk Neuroblastoma From Italian Tertiary Hospital

Mirra Giulia , Deodati Annalisa , Ubertini Graziamaria , Elisa Amodeo Maria , Antonietta De Ioris Maria , Mastronuzzi Angela , Cavallo Federica , Grossi Armando

Background: The treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma still represents a clinical challenge in pediatric oncology. About 50% of children survive after a multimodal treatment based on conventional and high dose chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, differentiating treatment and immunotherapy.Aim: To evaluate endocrine long-term sequels in a pediatric cohort with high-risk neuroblastoma.Patient...
