Congenital hypopituitarism. Report of 23 cases Hipopituitarismo congénito: Experiencia en 23 casos Lammoglia, Juan Javier; Eyzaguirre, Francisca; Unanue, Nancy; Román, Rossana; Codner Dujovne, Ethel; Cassorla Goluboff, Fernando; Mericq, Verónica (2008)Background: Congenital hypopituitarism is an uncommon cause of hypophyseal insufficiency. It is less common than growth hormone deficiency, which has an incidence of 1:4.000 to 1:8.000 live newborns. Early diagnosis of ...

Ocaranza Osses, Paula; Lammoglia, Juan Javier; Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Román, Rossana; Cassorla Goluboff, Fernando (Elsevier, 2014)Background/aim: The importance of thyroid hormone on growth and development in children iswell recognized. In addition, linear growth is highly dependent on the response of peripheral tissues to growth hormone, a ...
-
Ocaranza, Paula; Morales, Fernanda; Román, Rossana; Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Cassorla Goluboff, Fernando (2012)Background/aim: Possible etiologies of idiopathic short stature (ISS) include a range of conditions, some of which may be caused by defects in the modulation of the growth hormone (GH)-signaling pathway. The Janus kinase/signal ...

Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Román, Rossana; Youlton, Ronald; Cassorla Goluboff, Fernando; Mericq, Verónica (2011)Background: Novel molecular insights have suggested that ghrelin may be involved in the pathogenesis of some forms of short stature. Recently, growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) mutations that segregate with short ...

Iñíguez Vila, Germán; Ormazábal Leiva, Paulina Fernanda; López, Teresa; Maldonado, Diego; Avila, Alejandra; Román, Rossana; Cassorla Goluboff, Fernando (2009)Background/Aims: The GH-IGF-I axis plays an important role on pre/postnatal growth in humans, and IGF-I regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and metabolic homeostasis. The adipose tissue has an important function ...
