Introduction: Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is a group of rare endocrine disorders characterized by repeated episodes of hypoglycemia caused by an excessive insulin secretion from the pancreas beta cells. The etiopathogenesis, phenotype, treatment, and prognosis of individual CHI cases are variable and not completely described.Aims: To gather and describe clinical and genetic data about CHI cases diagnosed within the large EuRRECa net...

Introduction: The diagnosis and treatment of patients with rare diseases is often difficult as most clinicians do not encounter them. Therefore, centralization and collaboration between centers of expertise is necessary. European Reference Networks (ERN’s) such as RareEndoERN provide a platform for this, with one of its main thematic groups having a specific focus on rare growth and obesity disorders. Genetic obesity encompasses a heterogeneous group of c...

Jensen Karen S , Hvistendahl Gitte M , Kristensen Kurt , Olsen Henning , Vogel Ida , Birkebaek Niels H

Background: The large phenotypic spectrum of Disorders of Sex Development are caused by mutations in many different genes, but a large phenotypic spectrum of sexual disturbancies may also be seen with different mutations in the same gene.Objective and hypotheses: To report on one new mutation in the 5 alfa reductase (SRD5A2) gene, and describe the extremes of the phenotypic spectrum of 5 alfa reductase deficiency presented in two patients.<p class="a...

Palmitic Acid Could Modify Cognitive and Behavioural Functions Through Sex Specific Activation of Hippocampal Astrocytes

Frago Laura M , Freire-Regatillo Alejandra , Argente-Arizon Pilar , Argente Jesus , Chowen Julie A

Background: Prolonged poor dietary habits can result in hypothalamic inflammation and gliosis with more recent studies suggest that other brain areas may also be affected. Western or high fat diet intake has been associated with increased cognitive impairment and aberrant feeding behavior, with males and females being differentially affected. The hippocampus participates in both of these functions. Saturated free fatty acids can induce astrocyte inflammation and this could pot...

Closed-Loop System: Dream or Reality?

Phillip M

Despite the fact that patients with diabetes and medical staff are doing their best to achieve tight glycemic control, most patients all over the world do not achieve the goal. Good glycemic control is crucial to prevent diabetes related complications as well as hypoglycemic episodes, seizure, coma and death. The Diabetes wiREless Artificial Pancreas ConsortiuM (DREAM) was established by three diabetes centers in Slovenia, Germany and Israel, with a goal to reduce the risk of ...

McCune–Albright Syndrome

Collins M

The McCune–Albright syndrome can be a disease of striking complexity, the management of which can be challenging. However, an understanding of the physiologic consequences of the underlying molecular and developmental biology makes the evaluation and treatment of this disease relatively straightforward. MAS arises from activating mutations in the ubiquitously expressed cAMP-signaling protein, Gsα. The mutations occur very early in development, prior to gas...

New Therapies in Metabolic Bone Disease: Denusomab

Collins M

Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells important in normal growth plate development and bone remodeling. The development of osteoclasts is potently driven by mononuclear RANK and osteogenic cell RANKL interaction. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody drug that targets RANKL and inhibits osteoclastogenesis. It is a potent and effective treatment for pathologic processes that involve bone resorption, such as osteoporosis and bone metastases, conditions for which it is approved. Deno...

Development of an Online Learn-pro Module to Support Health Care Professionals Knowledge about Growth and Puberty

Wardhaugh Barbara , Shaikh Mohamad Guftat , Schulga John

Background: The Scottish Paediatric Endocrine Managed Clinical Network is committed to providing equity of care and education across Scotland. A key role is the education of health care professionals and how this is delivered. An extensive survey using a Learning Needs Analysis Tool was completed to ascertain learning needs and their delivery across Scotland. This highlighted the desire to have online learning available to health professionals.Objective:...

Age and Gender-Specific Reference Data for High-Resolution Magnetic Resonance Based Musculoskeletal Parameters in Healthy Children and Young People

Elsharkasi Huda M. , Chen ¹Suet C. , Steell Lewis , Joseph Shuko , Abdalrahman Naiemh , Johnston Blair , Foster John E. , Wong Sze C. , Ahmed S. Faisal

Background: The need to understand the relationship between bone, muscle, and fat within the bone-muscle unit has recently gained great prominence. Although high resolution (HR) MRI is a non-invasive imaging modality that can provide this information, there is limited expertise in children and young people.Objectives: To establish MRI-based normative data for bone, bone marrow adiposity and muscle adiposity in children a...

Abnormal DNA methylation contributes to tumor progression and is emerging as a prognostic marker in several types of cancers. To investigate whether DNA methylation is associated with pediatric adrenocortical tumor (pACT) presentation and patient prognosis, we analyzed the methylation profile of 57 tumors (MethylationEPIC BeadChip Array-Illumina) and patients’ clinicopathological features and outcome. The study comprehended 40 girls and 17 boys, with median age at diagnos...
