Solis Maria Magdalena Hawkins , Gomez Maria Royo , de Alvare Ana Dolores Alcalde , Yebra Julia Yebra , Pose Araceli Garcia , Diaz Alfonso Canete

Background: Sotos syndrome is characterized by overgrowth. The four mayor criteria for diagnosis are: overgrowth (accelerated bone age), macrocephaly, characteristic facial features and developmental delay. They can also present escoliosis, heart or genitourinary disease, seizures, hypotonia, cerebral malformations, feeding difficulties, hearing loss and a greater risk of tumours.Case report: A 10 months old girl was referred for overgrowth. BW and BL wa...

Ignacio Diez-Lopez , Nerea Gonzalez-Temprano , Villalon Flor , Larreina de la Fuente Leire , Cancela Vanesa , Nuñez Francisco Javier , Hernandez Jone Miren

Of the 67 included DSD patients, 33% were HSCs. 68% women and 32% men, with a total concordance between legal sex, current gender and chromosomal sex. Median age: 10.5 years, IQR 8-14. The most frequent clinical form was non-classical (NC) 45.5%, followed by classical with saline loss (CPS) 41%. The distribution of each clinical form according to the karyotype is significant (P = 0.013), the most frequent with XY karyotype is CPS and in NC forms all cases are XX. Med...

Baraitser-Winter cerebrofrontofacial syndrome (BWCFF; ORPHACODE 2995) is a multiple congenital anomaly syndrome characterized by distinct craniofacial features and intellectual disability. Affected individuals often present with pachygyria, predominantly in frontal regions, shoulder girdle muscle wasting, and sensory impairment due to iris or retinal coloboma and/or sensorineural deafness. Intellectual disability varies and correlates with the severity of brain malformations. ...

Use of Automated Insulin Delivery systems (AIDs) in preschool children

de Beaufort Carine

Management of type 1 diabetes in preschool children is a huge challenge for their caregivers. Age-specific factors (e.g. unpredictable food intake and physical activity, small insulin doses, high insulin sensitivity, frequent intercurrent infections, high variability in insulin requirements) increase the complexity of daily diabetes management. Furthermore, the preschool child depends completely on his/her caregiver. To meet recommended treatment targets while avoiding hypogly...

Psychiatric Comorbidities in Transgender Youth

de Vries Annelou

I review the mental health difficulties that transgender and gender diverse children and adolescents may present with, specifically emotional difficulties. Many studies reveal depression scores and parent and self-reported measures of emotional and behavioral problems that are comparable to mental health clinic referred populations. Children and adolescents who feel that they are acknowledged and supported in their gender diverse feelings, e.g. by receiving gender affirming me...

Cardiovascular Pathology in Males and Females with 45,X/46,XY Mosaicism

De Groote Katya

The phenotype of 45,X/46,XY mosaicism is heterogeneous ranging from females with Turner syndrome (TS) to apparently normal males. Cardinal features of TS include reduced final height and infertility. Apart from endocrine, renal and neurocognitive disorders, structural heart defects are frequently present (in 25% to 50%), also in TS patients with mosaicism 45,X/46,XY. Males with 45,X/46,XY frequently show stigmata typically associated with TS but data on cardiovascular patholog...

Endocrine-Metabolic Outcome of Women with a History of Sexual Precocity

de Vries Liat

Central precocious puberty (CPP) may have endocrine and metabolic implications in adulthood. Long-term effects may be associated with the underlying neuroendocrine dysfunction leading to CPP, the GnRH analogue (GnRHa) therapy, or both. Data are conflicting on the long-term risk of polycystic ovarian syndrome in both treated and untreated women. Clinical hyperandrogenism has been more frequently reported in CPP women than in controls, with no significant difference between GnRH...

Advanced Anthropometrics in Pediatric Endocrinology: Utility and Difficulty

De Schepper Jean

Anthropometrics is an important part of pediatrics and public health. Its non-invasiveness, simplicity and low cost makes anthropometry attractive for several purposes. It is a valuable method for the screening or assessment of growth disorders, as well as under- and over-nutrition. Furthermore, specific anthropometric measures can be used as indicators of general fitness or cardiovascular risk factors (insulin resistance and dyslipidemia) in (obese) children, as well as marke...
