Brief summary: This survey study addressed the question whether rare disease experts (n=238) would advise genetic neonatal screening for treatable genetic disorders. Most experts (87.9%) agreed that genetic analysis for a limited number of monogenic treatable conditions should be available to all newborns.Newborn screening has been introduced for diagnosing a few treatable congenital disorders at birth in apparently healthy newborns, in order to...

Brief summary: This study validates dexamethasone-suppressed [11C]metomidate positron emission tomography computed tomography (MTO) scanning as a CYP11B2-selective investigation for lateralizing PA.Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common single cause of hypertension, accounting for 5–14% of all cases and 20–25% of treatment-resistant hypertension (1, 2). Traditionally, patients with PA are divided equally into ...
