Background: Mutations of the ( are associated with life-threatening glomerulopathy, disorders of sexual development, Wilm's tumor, and gonadal malignancies. Our objectives were to describe the clinical presentations, age of progression, and onset of complications of through a case series and literature review.
Methods: A retrospective study included all patients followed at the University of Miami/Holtz Children's Hospital from January 2000 to December 2020 with a diagnosis of .
Background: Diabetes is a risk factor for poor COVID-19 outcomes, but pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes are poorly represented in current studies.
Methods: T1D Exchange coordinated a US type 1 diabetes COVID-19 registry. Forty-six diabetes centers submitted pediatric cases for patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19.
Objective: We examined whether diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication of type 1 diabetes (T1D) was more prevalent among Non-Hispanic (NH) Black and Hispanic patients with T1D and laboratory-confirmed coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) compared with NH Whites.
Method: This is a cross-sectional study of patients with T1D and laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 from 52 clinical sites in the United States, data were collected from April to August 2020. We examined the distribution of patient factors and DKA events across NH White, NH Black, and Hispanic race/ethnicity groups.
Objective: To report 2 patients with haploinsufficiency of hepatic nuclear factor 1 homeobox B () that results in the onset of maturity onset diabetes of the young type 5 (MODY5) before 3 years of age.
Methods: We present 2 unusual patients with MODY5 that was diagnosed at 33 and 22 months of age, respectively. We describe the presentations, clinical course, and genetic tests of both patients, and lastly, we review the literature on the prevalence and the age of presentation of MODY5 both in children and in adult patients.

Background Mucolipidosis II α/β (ML II) is an autosomal recessive disease associated with the abnormality of lysosomal enzyme trafficking. Case presentation We present an unusual patient with: (a) marked skeletal anomalies with secondary hyperparathyroidism; (b) serum intact parathyroid hormone level normalized by 7 weeks but abnormally elevated serum alkaline phosphate persisted; and (c) two mutations identified in the GNPTAB gene. One mutation, c.
