Safety and Efficacy of Growth Hormone (GH) in Combination with the Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone Agonist Leuprorelin in Pubertal Children with Idiopathic Short Stature

Benabbad Imane , Tauber Maite , Rosilio Myriam , Paris Emmanuel , Berggren Lovisa , Patel Hiren , Carel Jean-Claude

Background: Due to delays in diagnosis of Idiopathic Short Stature (ISS), puberty has often started when Growth Hormone (GH) is initiated.Objective and hypotheses: To compare GH+leuprorelin (GH+L) with GH alone in patients with ISS and at Tanner puberty stage 2 or 3. We hypothesised that co-administration of GH+L for 2–3 years would delay puberty, prolong GH efficacy and increase adult height.Method: A phase 3, randomised, ope...

The Molecular Causes of Congenital Hypothyroidism: The Scottish experience

Kourime Mariam , Jones Jeremy , Ansari Aisha , Bradley Therese , Mason Avril , Shaikh Guftar

Background: Inherited forms of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) account for approximately one quarter of all causes of CH.

Gonadal Function in the Prader-Willi Syndrome from Infancy to Adulthood

Kherra Sakina , Kourime Mariam , El-Sedfy Heba , Paterson Wendy , Shaikh M Guftar , Donaldson Malcolm

Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), caused by loss of paternally imprinted genes in the 15q11-13 region, results in hypogonadism which is more severe in males.Objective: To review the gonadal status of patients seen in a dedicated PWS clinic from 1990–2013 inclusive so as to establish the clinical patterns and hence to optimise future management.Method: Retrospective case note review over a 23-year period.<p class="ab...

The French Experience in Bariatric Surgery ‘Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding’ in Adolescence

Dabbas Myriam , Khen-Dunlop Naziha , De Filippo Jean Paul , Bougneres Pierre , Goulet Olivier , Revillon Yann

Background: Because the success rate of lifestyle interventions is modest in severely obese adolescents, surgical treatments are now proposed. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) represents an attractive treatment with minimal morbidity and reversible procedure.Method: All adolescents were included in prospective longitudinal assessment and entirely managed by a pediatric team. Surgery was proposed only after at least 1-year lifestyle interven...

The Incidence and Genetic Analysis of Congenital Hypothyroidism in Guangxi, China and the Predictors for Differentiating Permanent and Transient Congenital Hypothyroidism

Fu Chunyun , Chen Shaoke , Zheng Haiyang , Luo Shiyu , Zhang Shujie , Shen Yiping , Gu Xuefan , Fan Xin , Luo Jingsi

Background: The incidence of congnenital hypothyroidism (CH) differs significantly among different ethnicity and regions, and early differentiation of transient CH is important to avoid unnecessary prolonged treatment with L-T4, it is also helpful for predicting prognosis and alleviating families’ psychological burden.Objective and hypotheses: To investigate the incidence of CH based on the newborn screening program in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Regi...

POLR3H Variant is Associated with Primary Ovarian Failure in Two Families

Franca Monica , Funari Mariana , Domenice Sorahia , Nishi Mirian , Costa Elaine , Gontijo Leticia , Latronico Ana Claudia , Jorge Alexander , Lerario Antonio , Mendonca Berenice

Background: Primary ovarian failure (POF) is a major cause of female infertility. POF is characterized by amenorrhea, hypo-estrogenism, and elevated gonadotrophin levels. In POF disorder, several genetic alterations have been described, however in most of the patients the etiology of this disorder remains unknown.Objective and hypotheses: To identify new genes implicated in the development of POF using whole-exome sequencing (WES)....

Recognition of the Fetal and Perinatal Features of the Prader-Willi Syndrome is Required to Avoid Delay in Diagnosis

Cizmecioglu Filiz Mine , Jones Jeremy Huw , Paterson Wendy Forsyth , Kherra Sakina , Kourime Mariam , Shaikh M Guftar , Donaldson Malcolm

Introduction: Prompt diagnosis in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is important for counselling the family and thus pre-empt the hyperphagic phase of the condition.Objectives: To determine the key diagnostic features of PWS during the perinatal period and hence recommend strategies to ensure early diagnosis.Study design: Retrospective case note review with prospective questionnaire survey of birth details for the affected child and heal...

Background: Paediatric thyrotoxicosis is both rarer and more severe than in adulthood, rendering management difficult, and often unsatisfactory.Objective: To review outcome in a geographically defined area between 1989 and 2013; hence to develop an algorithm for improved clinical care.Method: Retrospective case note review plus questionnaire to family doctor requesting update. Graves’ disease (GD) was defined as positive TSH-R...

Ethical and Familial Dilemmas of Genitoplasty Encountered in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia

Dirlewanger Mirjam , Birraux Jacques , Edan Anne , Klee Philippe , Phan-Hug Franziska , Schwitzgebel Valérie M.

Differences of sex development (DSD) occur in about 1 in 3000 newborns in Switzerland. The indication and timing of genitoplasty in children with DSDs is a complex issue. In 2012 the Swiss National Advisory Commission on Biomedical Ethics published its position against early irreversible interventions in order to "normalize" the aspect of the external genitalia.We report the case of a child with a 46,XX DSD due to a classical form of congenital a...
