J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2022; 107(2): e487-e499. PMID: 34599587https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34599587/Brief Summary: This study describes the growth of adequately treated children with classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency during adrenarche and beyond. Patients with and without significant bone age advancement, and thus differing height prediction...

JAMA. 2020;323(4):339–351. doi: 10.1001/jama.2019.21565This study aimed to determine the prevalence of pre-symptomatic T1D in young children participating in a public health screening program for islet autoantibodies and the risk for progression to clinical T1D in children carrying multiple autoantibodies. On screening, 0.03% were found to have clinical T1D. Of the 0.31% who were foun...

PMID: 31990315It is unclear how many children in the general population have features of anti-islet cell autoimmunity without later developing type 1 diabetes (T1DM). This public health screening program determined the population prevalence of islet cell autoantibodies (ICA) and the risk for pro...

Brief summary: Using a combination of expression studies in human embryos as well as functional studies in zebrafish and genetic sequencing of patient with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, this study identified a novel role for Jag1/Notch signaling in the development of GnRH neurons.GnRH neurons have a unique characteristic as they start life in the olfactory placode and then migrate into the hypothalamus during embryonic development, thanks to ...

To read the full abstract: Eur J Endocrinol. 2018 Apr;178(4):377-388[Comments on 7.7 and 7.8] Familial self-limited delayed puberty is highly heritable and has a clear genetic basis as described in the review written by Sasha Howard. Recent studies suggest that the genetic basis of self-limited delayed puberty is likely to be highly heteroge...

Brief summary: This study identified nitric oxide synthase 1 (NOS1) heterozygous missense variants in 6 patients with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Altered minipuberty and puberty as well as cognitive impairment were observed in NOS1 deficient mice.Nitric oxide (NO) is produced under the control of NO synthase in hypothalamic neurons. NO plays a crucial role in regulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion, acting as a strong inhibitory sig...
