Benign Family Hypercalcemia: A Case Report

Derya Buluş Ayşe , Yasartekin Yüksel

The calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) is a member of the G protein coupled receptor family. It is mostly found in the parathyroid gland and renal tubule. CaSR disorders occur with inherited or acquired mutations. Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia syndromes are associated with inactivating mutations in CaSR. The heterozygous form is “benign familial hypercalcemia” and the homozygous form is “neonatal hyperparathyroidism”. In this article, “benign ...

Clinical Decision-Making in Disorders of Sex Development (DSD): Physician Recommendations Pre- and Post-Consensus Statement

Sandberg David E. , Kogan Barry , Gardner Melissa

Background: Despite advances in genetic diagnosis and surgical technique, and guidance from the Consensus Statement on Intersex Disorders, aspects of clinical management in disorders/differences of sex development (DSD) remain unsettled. Actively debated decision points include gender of rearing in specific syndromes, genital surgery prior to the patient developing the capacity to provide assent, and uncertainty over how and when to best educate young patients about diagnostic...

Long-Term Effects of a Ketogenic vs a Hypocaloric Diet in Children and Adolescents with Obesity

Partsalaki Ioanna , Karvela Alexia , Spiliotis Bessie E

Background: The prevalence of childhood obesity is high worldwide and predisposes to adult obesity and metabolic disorders. Many dietary approaches have been proposed to reduce this prevalence, but no single diet has proven to be superior to others in terms of long-term weight loss maintenance in children.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate and compare long-term body weight changes among obese children and adolescents who had lost at least 10% of their...

Children with Type 1 Diabetes and Obesity show biochemical changes associated with insulin resistance

Hayes Eadaoin , Cody Declan , E Hogan Andrew

Children with Type 1 diabetes are experiencing higher levels of overweight and obesity as a consequence of intensive insulin therapy as well as background socioeconomic and environmental factors that are contributing to excess adiposity in the general population. The consequences of obesity in people with type 1 diabetes are of particular concern, as obesity in adults increases the risk of both diabetes-related and obesity-related complications, including cardiovascular diseas...

Pubertal timing and characterization in children with congenital hypothyroidism: How important is preschool age anthropometry?

Güven Ayla , Nurcan Cebeci Ayşe

Introduction: The main purpose of the study was to determine whether anthropometric measurements at preschool (PS)-age, in which physiological adiposity rebound is detected, and LT4 dose have an effect on the age of onset of puberty in children with hypothyroidism.Methods: This is an observational and retrospective study.Results: Puberty had begun in 44 girls and 25 boys out of 115...

Paediatric Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Exhibit Reduced Brown Adipose Tissue Heat Signature Following Cold Stimulation

Law James , Morris David E. , Robinson Lindsay , Randell Tabitha , Denvir Louise , Symonds Michael E. , Budge Helen

Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a key component of the body's defence against cold challenge and possesses the ability to convert large amounts of chemical energy to heat, conferred by a unique protein, uncoupling protein (UCP)-1, diverting mitochondrial respiration from the production of adenosine triphosphate. In humans, the largest BAT depot is in the supraclavicular region. Sympathetic nervous system stimulation induces glucose uptake into brown adipose tissue, as does i...

GH Unmasked Laryngomalacia and worsened Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Infants with Prader-Willi Syndrome

Salehi Parisa , Wrede Joanna E , Johnson Kaalan E , Chen Maida L

Background: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), due to loss of paternal gene expression on chromosome 15q11.2-13, is characterized by hypotonia, hypothalamic-pituitary dysregulation, abnormal respiratory drive, and hyperphagia. GH, often started in infancy, improves tone, body composition, and height. Concerns about sudden death in children with PWS started on GH, hypothesized secondary to worsening obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from adenotonsillar hypertrophy, resulted in guidelines...

Butyrate Stimulates GH Secretion From Rat Anterior Pituitary Cells Via the G-Protein-Coupled Receptors GPR41 and 43

Miletta Maria Consolata , Petkovic Vibor , Eble Andree , Ammann Roland , Fluck Christa E , Mullis Primus E

Background: Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid closely related to the ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) considered as the major source of energy during prolonged exercise. During fasting, when the liver switches to fatty acid oxidation, a rise in serum GH occurs concomitantly with the accumulation of BHB and short chain fatty acids (SCFA) acetate, propionate and butyrate. Interactions between GH, ketone body and SCFA during the metabolic adaptation to fasting are poor...

Short Stature, Accelerated Bone Maturation, and Early Growth Cessation due to Heterozygous Aggrecan Mutations

Nilsson Ola , Guo Michael , Dunbar Nancy , Popovic Jadranka , Flynn Daniel , Jacobsen Christina , Lui Julian , Hirschhorn Joel , Baron Jeffrey , Dauber Andrew

Background: Most children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) have a delayed bone age (BA). ISS with advanced BA is far less common. We studied three families with autosomal dominant short stature, unexplained BA acceleration, and premature growth cessation.Objective and hypotheses: To identify the genetic cause of this condition and describe its clinical spectrum.Method: Whole exome sequencing was performed in selected individuals...

Pediatric transgender care from an endocrine perspective: experience over the past decade in a tertiary Swiss center

Mazzi Sara , Nussbaum Marie-Lou , Christa Flück E.

Gender dysphoria indicates a psychological distress due to any incongruence between biological sex and gender identity, while transgender identity refers to an individual, whose gender identity is the opposite of the biological sex. The number of gender dysphoric youth seeking hormonal care seems to rise worldwide. Therefore, numerous bioethical and medical controversies are raising about possible side effects of hormonal therapies, including interference with brain developmen...
