Context: The 2019 American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists guidelines suggested peak GH-cutoffs to glucagon test (GST) of ≤3 and ≤1 µg/L in the diagnosis of permanent GH deficiency (GHD) during the transition phase.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of GST compared to insulin tolerance test (ITT) in the definition of GHD at adult height achievement.
Patients And Methods: Ninety-seven subjects with childhood-onset GHD (median age, 17.
Context: There are only a few nationwide studies on boys with central precocious puberty (CPP) and the last Italian study is a case series of 45 boys that dates back to 2000.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the causes of CPP in boys diagnosed during the last 2 decades in Italy and the relative frequency of forms with associated central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to idiopathic ones.
Methods: We performed a national multicenter retrospective study collecting data from 193 otherwise normal healthy boys with a diagnosis of CPP.
Purpose: MKNR3 is a paternally expressed gene whose mutations are the main cause of central precocious puberty (CPP). Protein circulating levels can be easily measured, as demonstrated in idiopathic CPP and healthy controls. No data are available for patients harboring an MKRN3 mutation.
