OBJECTIVES: Central precocious puberty (CPP) develops as a result of early stimulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The loss-of-function mutations in the Makorin-ring-finger3 (MKRN3) gene appear to be the most common molecular cause of familial CPP. We aimed to identify MKRN3 gene mutations in our CPP cohort and to investigate the frequency of MKRN3 mutations. METHODS: 102 patients with CPP included. 53 of them had family history of CPP in the first and/or second-degree relatives...

Rickets is the disease of a growing skeleton and results from impaired apoptosis of hypertrophic chondrocytes and mineralization of the growth plate. Nutritionally induced rickets, secondary to vitamin D and/or calcium deficiency, remains a major global problem. In this review, we discuss pathogenesis, clinical signs, investigation and management of nutritional rickets.

OBJECTIVES: More than one third of children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and thyroid gland in situ  (or eutopic gland) have transient hypothyroidism. It remains difficult to determine early on whether hypothyroidism will be transient which may cause overtreatment and its complications in these children. Our primary aim was to determine prognostic factors for transient hypothyroidism in children with congenital hypothyroidism and eutopic gland or thyroid hemiagenesis. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 111 children, born between 1996 and 2017, diagnosed with congenital hypothyroidism and eutopic gland or hemiagenesis and treated at the Nancy Regional and University Hospital...

OBJECTIVES: Long-term care of children with Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) has psycho-social implications for parents. Experts recommend a customized educational program for parents to facilitate their psychological adaptation and improve disease management. Such educational programs often provided by nurse counsellors are well evaluated in developed countries. There is a dearth of data on nurse-led counselling in the context of less developed countries. We aimed to evaluate the effect of a nurse-led counselling intervention on various psycho-social outcomes among parents of children with CAH...
