Context: When an SDHx mutation is identified in a patient with a pheochromocytoma (PCC) or a paraganglioma (PGL), predictive genetic testing can detect mutation carriers that would benefit from screening protocols.
Objective: To define the tumor detection rate in a large cohort of asymptomatic SDHX mutation carriers.
Design And Setting: Retrospective multicentric study in 6 referral centers.
Objective: Most children with endocrine diseases require long-term continuity of care. We investigated the prevalence of loss to follow-up (LTFU) in pediatric patients with chronic endocrine diseases and the risk factors associated with LTFU.
Methods: This observational cohort study included all children with chronic endocrine diseases included in the database of a single academic pediatric care center over a period of 8 years.
Objective Turner Syndrome is associated with several phenotypic conditions associated with a higher risk of subsequent comorbidity. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of congenital malformations and the occurrence of age-related comorbid conditions and to determine whether the frequencies of congenital and acquired conditions depend on X chromosome gene dosage, as a function of karyotype subgroup. Design and methods This national retrospective observational cohort study includes 1501 patients.
