Metabolic Parameters and Glucose Homeostasis in Childhood Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency at Time of Initial Evaluation and Retesting

Ahmid M , McMillan M , Ahmed S F , Shaikh M G

Background: It is well known that growth hormone (GH) brings about several effects, involving bone, body composition, lipids and glucose homeostasis. However, the complex interplay between these parameters is rather poorly studied in children with childhood-onset-GH deficiency (CO-GHD).Objective and hypotheses: To investigate lipids, adipokines (leptin- adiponectin- resistin) and glucose homeostasis and their relationship with bone and body composition i...

Bone Health and Body Composition in Childhood Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency at Time of Initial Evaluation and Retesting

Ahmid M , Shepherd S , McMillan M , Ahmed S F , Shaikh M G

Background: Childhood onset growth hormone deficiency (CO-GHD) may contribute to low bone mass and alterations of body composition. However, the mechanisms by which CO-GHD effects bone health are not yet clearly defined.Objective and hypotheses: To evaluate musculoskeletal health in CO-GHD subjects at initial evaluation and retesting after final height.Method: A cross-sectional study of assessing bone health and body composition by...

Altowati M. , Malik S. , Shepherd S. , McMillan M. , McGrogan P. , Ahmed S.F. , Wong S.C.

Background: There is currently no published study evaluating the role of the IGF axis on bone development following anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) therapy in Crohn’s disease (CD).Method: Prospective, 12-month study in 19CD(12M) who were clinical responders to antiTNF therapy, median age 14.9 years (range 11.2–17.2). IGF1, insulin growth factor binding protein 3(IGFBP3), acid labile subunit (ALS), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP) and...

Suppression of Bone Turnover and its Determinants in Children Receiving Bisphosphonate Therapy

Kyriakou Andreas , McNeilly Jane D , McMillan Martin , Shaikh Guftar M , Mason Avril , Ahmed Syed Faisal

Background: Bisphosphonate therapy (BPT) reduces osteoclast activity and may be associated with adynamic bone turnover. The extent of suppression of bone turnover and its determinants are unclear.Method: Markers of bone metabolism were evaluated in 15 children (9M/6F) undergoing BPT for osteoporosis. The median age at first biochemical assessment was 10.8 years (0.16, 16.3). Serum type I collagen cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX), alkaline phosphatase (AL...

Effect of Vitamin D Treatment on Glucose and Insulin Metabolism, and Bone Turnover in Children with Symptomatic Vitamin D Deficiency

El-fakhri Nagla , McMillan Martin , McNeilly Jane , Ahmed S F , McDevitt Helen

Background: There are limited data in paediatric population on the association between vitamin D deficiency/treatment and glucose/insulin metabolism.Objective and hypotheses: This study aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin D therapy on glucose homeostasis, insulin resistance and bone turnover, in children with vitamin D deficiency.Method: 22 children aged 3 months to 10 years (nine male) who were diagnosed with vitamin D defi...

Thioredoxin Reductase 2 (TXNRD2) Variant As A Cause Of Micropenis, Undescended Testis And Selective Glucocorticoid Deficiency

Patjamontri Supitcha , Lucas-Herald Angela , McMillan Martin , Prasad Rathi , Metherell Louise , McGowan Ruth , Tobias Edward , Faisal Ahmed S.

Introduction: The molecular aetiology of familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is very heterogeneous. A recent report of a genetic variant in TXNRD2, the gene encoding thioredoxin reductase Type 2, in a South Asian kindred with FGD suggests that the maintenance of redox balance may be critical for adrenocortical function. We present the second report of an individual from another south Asian family harbouring a different pathological variant in <em...

An Investigation Of Androgen-responsive Non-coding RNAs In Boys With Atypical Genitalia Without Genetic Variants in the Androgen Receptor (AR)

Alimussina Malika , McMillan Martin , Chudleigh Sandra , D McNeilly Jane , A Diver Louise , McGowan Ruth , S Tobias Edward , Faisal Ahmed S

Introduction: Recent studies point to the existence of androgen-responsive non-coding (nc) RNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) RNA.Aim: To quantify the androgen-responsive gene expression of SNORD5 and RNY5 and investigate their relationship to the testosterone (T) rise following hCG stimulation in boys with no genetic evidence of androgen insensitivity.Methods: 19 bo...

A Nationwide Study of the Prevalence & Initial Management of Atypical Genitalia & Delayed Sex Assignment in the Newborn

Rodie Martina , Ali Salma , Jayasena Arundathi , Al-Enazi Naser , McMillan Martin , Cox Kathyrn , Cassim Sumaiya M. , Henderson Stuart , Ahmed S.Faisal

Background: The prevalence of atypical genitalia and the time taken to assign sex in such cases remains unclear. Provision of optimum healthcare during this period requires a clear understanding of the occurrence of atypical genitalia.Methods: Prospective electronic survey of clinical members of managed clinical networks in Scotland between 2013 and 2018 seeking notification of term neonates requiring specialist input fo...

Systematic Screening Using DXA Lateral Vertebral Morphometry is Associated with a High Prevalence of Vertebral Fractures in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Results from ScOT-DMD Study

Joseph Shuko , Shepherd Sheila , Marco Marina Di , Dunne Jennifer , McMillan Martin , Horrocks Iain , Ahmed S Faisal , Wong Sze Choong

Background: The prevalence of vertebral fractures (VF) in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is currently unknown as systematic spine imaging is rarely performed.Objective: To determine the prevalence of VF in DMD and factors associated with VF.Method: A prospective study utilising systematic screening with DXA vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) was performed in all 47 eligible boys. 6/47 were excluded due to spinal instrumentation...
