Background: NSIAD is a rare genetic cause of hyponatremia, due to activating mutations in AVPR2 gene, encoding the Arginine Vasopressin Receptor Type 2, and located on Xq28. Of the fewer than 30 reported cases, most have been managed with fluid restriction and urea.Objective and hypotheses: Illustration of the presentation of a family with this genetic abnormality and approach to management.Method: The clinical, biochemical and gen...

Background: The incidence of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) worldwide is unknown. In the USA, the incidence is ~1/20 000 live births: for Indonesia (population 240 million) this should extrapolate to 12 000 OI patients rather than the 35 patients currently registered with the Indonesian Pediatrics Society (IPS), Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia-Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM). This enormous disconnect signifies many missed diagnoses, mortality or both.<p class...

Background: In 2007, the Turner syndrome (TS) Consensus Study Group developed an international guideline for clinical care of girls and women with TS. Given emerging concerns of long term cardiovascular complications, the consensus recommends that cardiac MRI should be performed when girls are old enough to tolerate the procedure or at the time of transition and to be repeated at least every 5–10 years.Method: We conducted a survey of cardiovascular...

Achondroplasia (ACH) is the most common human skeletal dysplasia caused by gain -of-function mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor gene (FGFR) 3-encoding protein. Vosoritide, an analog of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), is currently the sole medication approved for ACH treatment. Vosoritide can only be administered by daily injection, leaving room for improvement. Infigratinib, a pan-FGFR1/2/3 inhibitor, offers a potential oral treatment alternative and is curren...

Background: A disease of the immune system, responsible for 95% of cases of hyperthyroidism in children is very rare at this age, it affects one child in 10 million.Presentation: Khadija 3 year old girl admitted for goiter, no goitrogenic substances No drug Shot, No Inbreeding, goiter paternal aunt, The trouble was in the beginning 1 year a height and weight advance:+1 DS weight, height+3.2 DS, weakness, weight loss, Profuse sweating, tachycardia, irrita...

Background: Steroidogenic Factor 1 (NR5A1/SF-1) is essential for the development and function of human sex and steroid organs. Variants of SF-1 lead to a broad spectrum of phenotypes including adrenal insufficiency and differences of sex development (DSD), but data on the whole picture of phenotypes in individuals with SF-1 variants are currently lacking. We aim to investigate the phenotype of individuals with SF-1 variants in a large interna...

Background: Thyroidectomy is a definitive treatment option in some benign thyroid disorders and the definitive treatment option for thyroid cancer. As postoperative mortality is extremely rare data on postoperative complications and long-term health consequences are important.Objective: To evaluate the frequencies of short- and long-term complications, and their risk factors in pediatric patients (0-18 years) who underwent a thyroidectomy in a tertiary c...

Background: Aldosterone synthase deficiency (ASD) is caused by biallelic inactivating CYP11B2 variants. Infants mainly present with failure to thrive and salt wasting in early infancy. Moreover, different factors may cause downregulation of aldosterone synthase and secondary deficiency.Objective and Hypotheses: We present a toddler with polyuria and polydipsia and steroid hormone precursors suggestive of ASD, bu...

Introduction: Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide, encoded by the KISS1 gene, which acts upstream of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons and also has a critical role for maturation and function of the reproductive axis. Inactivating mutations of its receptor (KISS1R) cause normosmic isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). In this report, we aim to present three siblings who have IHH due to novel compound heterozygous KISS1R mutation.Cas...

Background: GH treatment results in a decrease in fat mass (FM) and insulin sensitivity (Si), and an increase in lean body mass (LBM). Only limited data are available on the longitudinal changes after discontinuation of GH treatment in SGA adults, aged 21 years.Objective and hypotheses: To assess longitudinal changes in body composition (BC) and glucose homeostasis after stop of GH treatment in SGA adults.Method: 197 previously GH-...
