Diabetes Care. 2022 Apr 1;45(4):864-870. doi: 10.2337/dc21-1430. PMID: 35104325.Brief Summary: This study followed up a nationwide cohort of pregnant women (with and without gestational diabetes, GDM) and assessed their risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus up to 10 years later. The risk of developing type 2 diabetes increased with the number of GDM pregnancies.About 6%...

J Bone Miner Res. 2022 Feb;37(2):179-184.Abstract: https://pubmed-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov/34464000/In Brief: Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) both negatively regulate serum phosphate by increasing renal phosphate excretion. The clinical observation that both PTH and FGF23 are needed for adequate renal phosphate handling is confirmed in this experimental patient stu...

Eur J Endocrinol, 2021. 185(5): p. 691-705. PMID: 34516402Brief Summary: This study evaluated the prevalence of genetic variants in children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Heterozygous variants in known genes involved in skeletal physiology were identified in almost 20% of children. The use of advanced genetic analysis techniques will lead to an increased identification of new genetic variants, expand...
