J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab 2019; 32(3): 253–258. DOI: 10.1515/jpem-2018-0342• 44,360 neonates were screened for CAH as part of a pilot screening programme in Beijing.• In this prospective study, a CAH incidence of 1:7393 was found, and the most common 21 OHase mutation was c.293-13C/A>G.The authors describe the results of a ...

PMID: 33619380.In brief: In this genome-wide association study, the authors were able to disentangle the mechanism that uncouples adiposity from its known cardiometabolic complications. They identified 62 genomic loci, at which the same allele is associated with both higher adiposity and lower cardiometabol...
