Background: Mutations in GH1 gene cause isolated growth hormone deficiency. Several disease-causing mutations from patients with IGHD have been reported. These mutations have been shown to (a) produce shorter isoforms of GH that does not bind to growth hormone receptor, (b) cause diminished secretion of GH or (c) result in misfolded GH protein. Large sequencing studies from the non-clinical population show several hundred genetic variations in GH1 gene. Role of common polymorp...

Background: Isolated gonadal dysgenesis due to NR0B1 locus duplication is a rare cause of 46,XY DSD. Almost reported cases were a total gonadal dysgenesis with complete female phenotype associated with primary amenorrhea. Only two unrelated cases of isolated partial gonadal dysgenesis with molecular characterization have been reported. The risk of gonadoblastoma is high.Objective and hypotheses: Phenotype correlation study (clinical, hormonal, and histol...

Background: Isolated gonadal dysgenesis due to NR0B1 locus duplication is a rare cause of 46,XY DSD. Almost reported cases were a total gonadal dysgenesis with complete female phenotype and streak gonad diagnosed late because of absent of pubertal development and primary amenorrhea. Only two unrelated cases of isolated partial gonadal dysgenesis with molecular characterization have been reported. The risk of gonadoblastoma is high.Family case reports: Al...

Background: Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia (FHH) type 1 is a benign condition of hypercalcemia with autosomal dominant inheritance caused by pathogenic variants in the calcium-sensing receptor gene (CASR). CaSR plays a crucial role in the regulation of calcium balance. Inactivating mutations in CASR result in altered calcium-sensing and inappropriate parathyroid hormone (PTH) release concerning the calcium concentration. Dysplasia Epiph...

Introduction: Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is an uncommon, highly heterogeneous entity of multifactorial etiology, consisting in the association of 2 or more of the following characteristics: ophthalmological abnormalities [most frequently optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH)], midline brain abnormalities [such as aplasia/hypoplasia of the septum pellucidum (SP) and/or corpus callosum (CC)] and variable degree of hypotalamo-pituitary insufficiency (HPI)<p class="ab...

The majority of patients with Variations of Sex Development (VSD) lack a genetic diagnosis. Patients that are born with atypical chromosomal, gonadal, or phenotypical sex, present a wide spectrum of phenotypes that are often associated with ambiguous genitalia, infertility as well as increased susceptibility to testicular or ovarian cancer. Many different genetic causes of VSD have been reported [2], but for more than 50% [3] of all VSD patients, the molecular cause of their c...

Objectives: To demographic, socio-economic and social changes in the population of children who debuted in this century with DM type 1aPatients and Methods: Study patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus from January 2000 to the present. Longitudinal study of global epidemiological, social, demographic and clinical variables and by five-year periods, focusing on the latte at Basque CountryRes...

It is known that a larger number of blood glucose control, glycemic control of patients with type 1 Dm suffers improvement. Likewise, the presence of hypoglycaemias maintained, especially at night and in school-age patients, could have a significant influence on neurological aspects such as night rest, learning and memory. Improved technology has id allowed or development of control devices interstitial glucose, both blinded (retrospective) as erta abi (real time). The free FR...

The pathological low stature is considered to be one that does not conform to normality (<2 SDS), that with a pathological growth rate. An obvious element is the conditioning that can generate in their professional outings, both in public and private activity. This seems to be evident in the female sex than in the male sex. The health system considers the treatment (with Ghrh) in pathological size without considering sexual dimorphism.Goals: To study...

Background: The diagnosis of increasingly serious in the early years of life obesity has experienced a large epidemiological increased worldwide in recent decades, and especially in our country and in some groups. Many of the metabolic complications (SM) and cardiovascular have their origins in childhood and are closely related to the presence of insulin resistance (IR), which associated complications: hepatic steatosis, endothelial dysfunction, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS...
