Article Synopsis
- Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP1B) is primarily caused by epigenetic defects in the GNAS locus, leading to variable symptoms like hormonal resistances and severe obesity, particularly in children.
- Three siblings with a genetic deletion were studied, showing signs of PTH and TSH resistance along with obesity and hyperphagia, varying across family members.
- The case highlights PHP1B's phenotypic variation within families, revealing a new link to severe childhood obesity, which is often overlooked in genetic testing.
Screening for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) remains heterogenous across geographies-we sought to determine the proportion of non-classical CAH (NCAH) detection by one vs. two newborn screens (NBS) in two U.S.

This may be particularly challenging for young children who rely on adults for their diabetes management. This study aimed to describe parent experiences with school/daycare during the first 1.

This study evaluated First STEPS (Study of Type 1 in Early childhood and Parenting Support), a stepped-care behavioral intervention designed to support parents' psychosocial functioning and promote children's glycemic outcomes.
Research Design And Methods: Using a two-site randomized clinical trial design, parents (n = 157) of children aged 1-6 years completed baseline data within 2 months of diabetes diagnosis and were randomly assigned to intervention (n = 115) or usual care (n = 42) for 9 months.
Background: Despite the known challenges of parental adjustment to new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in young children, little is known about parental sleep soon after diagnosis.
Methods: Parents (n = 157) of young children (4.5 ± 1.
