Predisposition to atherosclerosis in children and adults with trisomy 21: biochemical and metabolomic studies.

Introduction: Atherosclerosis, a precursor to cardiovascular disease (CVD), is deeply intertwined with lipid metabolism. The metabolic process in the Down syndrome (DS) population remain less explored. Aim of the study: This study examines the lipid profiles of DS in comparison to their siblings (CG), aiming to uncover potential atherosclerotic and CVD risks.

Comparative analysis of obesity prevalence, antioxidant and oxidant status in children with Down syndrome - a sibling-controlled study.

Introduction: Down syndrome (DS), a common genetic disorder, leads to various physical, cognitive, and developmental challenges. The supplementary copy of chromosome 21 introduces an abundance of genes, which potentially can influence metabolic irregularities. The aim of the study is to conduct a comprehensive comparative assessment of oxidative stress indicators (TAS, TOS, OSI), BMI, fasting glucose, and insulin levels, HOMA-IR among children and adolescents with DS in contrast to their non-DS siblings.

Pediatric Population with Down Syndrome: Obesity and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Their Assessment Using Omics Techniques-Review.

People with Down syndrome (PWDS) are more at risk for developing obesity, oxidative stress disorders, metabolic disorders, and lipid and carbohydrate profile disorders than the general population. The presence of an additional copy of genes on chromosome 21 (i.e.

The best tool for the assessment of developmental disorders in children with down syndrome: comparison of standard and specialized growth charts - cross sectional study.

Down Syndrome (DS) is a chromosomal abnormality associated with a spectrum of cognitive and physical disabilities. Children with DS are exposed to both lower and excess body weight and follow distinct growth-curve patterns that deviate significantly from those of children without chromosomal defects. Anthropometric parameters are assessed in the pediatric population with the use of growth charts.

Metabolic Disturbances in Children Treated for Solid Tumors.

Metabolic disturbances are among the most common disorders diagnosed in pediatric patients after anti-cancer therapy (ACT). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of metabolic disturbances among patients after ACT. The study group comprised 44 patients (31 boys) treated for solid tumors and 31 patients in the control group.

[The impact of VDR gene polymorphisms on obesity, metabolic changes, bone mass disorders and neoplastic processes].

Vitamin D activity is controlled by its receptor (VDR) located in many cells of the body. The presence of VDR in numerous cellular pathways suggests its important role in the etiology and development of many diseases. Increased risk of obesity, metabolic disturbances, bone mass disturbances and neoplasia among certain VDR alleles has been proven.

The central diabetes insipidus associated with septo-optic dysplasia (de Morsier syndrome).

Introduction: Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare congenital heterogeneous malformation with postulated genetic and environmental etiology. Septo-optic dysplasia is characterized by classic triad: optic nerve hypoplasia, midline brain malformation and hypothalamic-pituitary endocrine deficiencies. The most common hormonal deficiencies affect growth hormone and gonadotropin but it can also be lower levels of the other hormones.
