Gajewska Joanna , Klemarczyk Witold , Ambroszkiewicz Jadwiga , Gła¸b-Jabłońska Ewa , Chełchowska Magdalena

Introduction: Obesity is the direct cause of a number of immediate problems during childhood. Recently, fat mass was described as a significant negative predictor of serum iron. Hepcidin is a hormone stimulated by an increase in plasma iron levels and iron deposits in tissues, and decreases iron release from macrophages and duodenal enterocytes into the plasma. This protein prevents excessive iron absorption and iron accumulation in tissues. Ferritin is the most commonly deplo...

Variability of the Noonan syndrome phenotypic spectrum in four patients carrying novel LZTR1 gene variants

Meneghin Alice , Mozzato Chiara , Trevisson Eva , Guazzarotti Laura

Noonan syndrome is a genetic condition caused by dysregulation of RAS-MAPK pathway (RASopathy) characterized by great clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity. Many genes has been associated with the disease, including recently LZTR1, which is causative of both dominant and recessive forms. Currently less than one hundred cases of Noonan syndrome has been associated with LZTR1 variants then phenotype related to this gene is poorly known. Here we describ...

Donze Stephany , Damen Layla , Mahabier Eva , Hokken-Koelega Anita

Context: Children with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) generally have mild to moderate cognitive impairment with an IQ between 60 and 70. Growth hormone (GH) treatment is a registered treatment for children with PWS and has been associated with cognitive benefits, attributed to the effects of GH and insulin-like growth factor on brain growth and development.

Bald Martin , Timmermann Kirsten , Wadien Tanja , Krahling Eva , Holder Martin

Progeria syndromes are rare in children and include several diseases which lead to premature ageing already in children. Therefore, the pediatrician may be confronted with diseases which are normally seen only in persons with advanced age. We report about two children with progeria, in whom diabetes type 2 become manifest early and with a fulminant course in one patient. The first boy was known with Cockayne syndrome, which belongs to the progeria syndromes. He suffered from l...

Improved Mental and Motor Development During 3 Years of GH Treatment in Very Young Children with Prader-Willi Syndrome

Donze Stephany , Damen Layla , Mahabier Eva , Hokken-Koelega Anita

Context: Infants and toddlers with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) have a mental and motor developmental delay. Short-term data suggest a positive effect of growth hormone (GH) on mental and motor development in infants and children with PWS. There are, however, no longer-term results about the effects of GH treatment on mental and motor development.Objective: To investigate the longer-term effects of GH on psychomotor development in infants and toddlers wit...

Type 1 Diabetes Associated Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) Reference Values in Children and Adolescents

Oberg Daniel , Salemyr Jenny , Ortqvist Eva , Juul Anders , Bang Peter

Background: The disturbance of the GH-IGF-axis in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) with low circulating IGF-I, GH hypersecretion, and hyperinsulinemia, which may be associated with high tissue IGF-I, have implications on long-term vascular complications.Objective and hypotheses: To establish disease, sex and age related serum IGF-I reference values for children with T1DM and test the hypothesis that IGF-I SDS is lower in T1DM than in healthy controls and negativel...
