Introduction: The European Registries for Rare Bone and Mineral Conditions (EuRR-Bone) was created in collaboration with the European Reference Network on Rare Bone Diseases (ERN BOND) and the European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN) to support the needs of healthcare providers, patients and researchers by providing high-quality registries. The Core Registry collects a set of Core Data Elements as well as longitudinal patient and clin...

The ongoing European LIFE-MILCH project(www.lifemilch.eu), focuses on detecting Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals in mothers, in breast and formula milk and in urine of mothers and infants up to 12 months of age studying relationships with neurodevelopment, growth, distribution of adiposity, pubertal stages to establish a risk assessment model to prepare safety guidelines. In this study we have evaluated the effects of maternal diet during and after pregnancy, and of duration of ...

Background: According to recent European and Russian monitoring hypospadias and cryptorchidism are the most frequent malformations of the urogenital system in children in the general population. Currently there is a lack of information about the impact of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) on the development of congenital malformations, including the urogenital system, although the presence of this abnormality could lead to male reproductive disorders.</...

Background: Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a common autoimmune disease in pubertal and adolescent girls. In the past years the incidence of this autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland has increased.Objective and hypotheses: We present a 12.5 year old girl who had her first visit at our Pediatric Endocrinology Department at the age of 10 years due to short stature and clinical signs of hypothyroidism. Her height was – 3SD SDS and her BMI was 12.7. ...

Background: Hypophosphatasia (HP) is a rare inherited disorder characterised by defective bone and teeth mineralization because of deficient serum and bone alkaline phosphatase activity due to mutations in the tissue-nonspecific ALP (TNALP) gene. Infantile HP (IHP) is one of the six recognized clinical forms according to age at presentation and clinical features. IHP is characterised by skeletal abnormalities due to demineralization and rachitic changes in the metaphyses, prem...

Background: Iodine deficiency has multiple adverse effects in humans, termed iodine deficiency disorders, due to inadequate thyroid hormone production. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy and infancy may impair growth and neurodevelopment of the off-spring and increase infant mortality.Objectives: To evaluate effects of iodine supplementation in pregnant, lactating women and their infants at the East of Ukraine.Methods: Target group...

Background and aims: Wolfram syndrome is rare, progressive autosomal recessive disease with characteristic neurological and endocrine features. Signs and symptoms appear with different combination during the lifespan in different patients. Here we report the family case of Wolfram syndrome with different phenotype variable.Case presentation: Patient 4 years and 4 months old girl with diabetes mellitus since the age of 2 years and 3 months. Born term, hea...

Background: Intrauterine growth retardation (small for gestational age (SGA)) is connected with perinatal morbidity, neurological pathology and stature.Objective and hypotheses: The aim of our study is to estimate the incidence of SGA and its consequences in newborns and infants at the age 1.Method: The incidence of SGA among newborns in the Udmurt Republic (the region of the European part of the Russian Federation) has been studie...
