(Freund Publishing House Ltd, 2007)Adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is a hereditary disorder that leads to adrenal insufficiency and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HHG) in childhood. The gene responsible for the X-linked form of AHC, DAM (dosage-sensitive ...
-
(Endocrine Society, 2020)Context: Voice break, as a landmark of advanced male puberty in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), has revealed that pubertal timing is a highly polygenic trait. Although voice break is easily recorded in large cohorts, ...

Adrenarche in Prader-Willi syndrome appears not related to insulin sensitivity and serum adiponectin (2007)Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by dysmorphic features, obesity, hypogonadism, hypotonia and mental retardation. Obesity has been linked to insulin resistance and the latter has also been ...

(2009)Prolactinomas are rare tumors in prepubertal children. A prolactinoma in a young child may be due to sequence variants in genes that are known to cause these tumors (MEN1, PRKAR1A, AIP). An 11-year-old boy with a ...
-
(Mosby Inc., 2011)Objective: To evaluate body composition and fasting insulin level in preterm infants receiving preterm formulas (higher protein plus docosahexaenoic acid) for longer periods compared with a recent historical cohort receiving ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Early puberty onset has been related to future chronic disease; however breast bud assessment in large scale population studies is difficult because it requires trained personnel. Thus our aim is to assess the ...
-
(BIOMED Central Ltd., 2018)Background: The age of menarche has been associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease, as well as cancer risk. The decline in menarcheal age over the past century may be partially attributable to increased exposure ...
-
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2011)Clinical, biochemical and genetic analysis related to bone mineral density (BMD) were carried out in children born small for gestational age (SGA) that failed to achieve postnatal catch-up growth (CUG), SGA children that ...
-
(2007)Background: Small for gestational age (SGA) has been associated with decreased insulin sensitivity (IS). A possible mechanism is the postnatal development of a metabolically disadvantageous body composition (BC). Aim: To ...
-
(2009)Objective Depot luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist have been widely used for the treatment of central precocious puberty (CPP), but the optimal doses to obtain hormonal suppression are still unknown, ...

Congenital hypopituitarism. Report of 23 cases Hipopituitarismo congénito: Experiencia en 23 casos (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 ...
-
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Height is a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed that at least 180 genetic variants influence adult height. However, these variants explain only about ...
-
(Elsevier, 2016)Background: Catatonia is a motor dysregulation syndrome co-occurring with a variety of psychiatric and medical disorders. Response to treatment with benzodiazepines and electroconvulsive therapy suggests a neurobiological ...
-
(2007)Objectives: To identify factors that contribute to a decreased Z score of volumetric spine bone mineral density (ZvSBMD) and the development of vertebral fractures (VF) in children receiving chronic systemic corticosteroid ...
-
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2009)Small size at birth may result from fetal undernutrition which may occur at different times during gestation. Early postnatal catch-up growth and excess childhood weight gain are associated with an increased risk of adult ...
-
(2013)BACKGROUND: Rapid early ponderal growth is associated with adverse metabolic risks in young adults born at term. AIM: To determine whether there are differences in body composition, resting energy expenditure (REE) ...
-
(2009)Background: Fetal exposure to maternal glucocorticoids may determine fetal growth and the programing of later disorders. Availability of the glucocorticoids in the placenta is regulated by the 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase ...
