Background: SGA cohort study in analytical and metabolic variables at 3 and 12 months of age with somatométrica situation.Material and methods: Live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, PEG were studied according EG and weight/height (Spanish Tablas 2008). Tours are conducted at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurements of weight, height and perimeter. Blood samples are obtained at least fasting discussed 4h and exce...

Background: Cohort SGA in North of Spain – EPIPEG.Objective and hypotheses: Establish a SGA cohort for monitoring, assessment catch-up, and analysis of middle-environmental and social factors.Method: We study live births in singleton pregnancies in our hospital during 2012–2014, and are classified according age gestation (EG) and weight/height (Spanish growth 2008). Visits were made at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 months, with measurem...

Introduction: McCune–Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare disease defined by café-au-lait spots, gonadotropin-precocious puberty and fibrous dysplasia. It could be associated with others endocrinopathies: thyroid involvement as a common feature. The prevalence is very low, being outstanding the neonatal diagnosis, especially in males.Case presentation: A male term newborn with a café-au-lait extensive spot involving the back, arms, legs and s...

Background: Pseudohypoaldosteronism is a rare condition of renal or systemic resistance to aldosterone, divisible into separate clinical presentations, each with a distinct physiological and genetic basis. Transient pseudohypoaldosteronism is a secondary form, characterised by reduced glomerulofiltration rate. It has been described in infants with obstructive uropathy and urinary tract infections.Method: We present five cases, presenting in infancy with ...

Background: Rasopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases that share phenotypic characteristics such as facial dysmorphism, congenital heart disease and short stature.Objective and hypotheses: Evaluation of growth and study of the GH–IGF1 axis. Molecular Study of the PTPN11, SOS1, RAF, KRAS, NRAS, MAP2K1 and MAP2K2 genes. Evaluation of growth and study of the GH–IGF1 axis.Method: Descriptive retrospective study in pat...

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare, hereditary bone dysplasia with a broad clinical spectrum that includes skeletal and extra-skeletal manifestations. It is genetically heterogeneous and there are multiple described mutations that explain the clinical variability of this entity and make it difficult to establish a genotype-phenotype correlation.Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and genetic characteristics of the patient with OI.</...

Background: Ovotesticular DSD is a rare disorder defined by the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissues in the same individual. SRY is present in approximately 1/3 of patients with 46, XX ovotesticular DSD. In SRY-negative ovotesticular DSD, the mechanism responsible for the presence of testicular tissue is not yet understood.Case presentation: A male patient was referred to us for hypospadias and bilateral cryptorchidism at 2.5...

Neonatal diabetes is characterised by hyperglycaemia in the first 6 months of life. Transient neonatal diabetes (TND) is differentiated from permanent neonatal diabetes by its remission in infancy/early childhood, with possible relapse during adolescence in 50% of the cases. Incidence of neonatal diabetes is thought to range from 1:90,000 to 1:160,000. A gene mutation affecting pancreatic beta cells synthesis/secretion of insulin is present in more than 80% of the cases. Overe...

Background: Defects of the insulin receptor gene (INSR) can cause genetic syndromes associated with a wide diverse range of congenital insulin resistance from milder insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus (Type A insulin resistance syndrome, TAIRS) to leprechaunism (Donahue syndrome). Clinical features in TAIRS vary due to the severity of damage in INSR, precise diagnosis is challenging.Materials and Methods</stron...

Background: There are few reports describing proximal deletions of chromosome 20p, making it difficult to predict the likely consequences of the deletion in this area. One report has described a proximal 20p11.2 deletion associated with panhypopituitarism, craniofacial dysmorphism, a small phallus with a semi bifid scrotum, and bilateral widely separated first and second toes. The only other report has demonstrated neurodevelopmental abnormalities associated with band 20p11.2 ...
