Long-acting growth hormones: innovations in treatment and guidance on patient selection in pediatric growth hormone deficiency.
Ann Pediatr Endocrinol Metab

Department of Medicine, Surgery and Health Science, University of Trieste, Trieste, Italy.
Long-acting growth hormones (LAGHs) represent a significant advancement in the treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency (GHD), offering an alternative to daily recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) therapy. Traditional rhGH treatments, while effective, require daily injections, often leading to poor adherence due to the frequency of dosing, injection pain, and difficulties with storage and travel. In contrast, LAGHs, such as somatrogon, somapacitan, and lonapegsomatropin, are designed for once-weekly administration, improving patient compliance and quality of life.

Division of Human Genetics, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Department of Pediatrics, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Purpose: Noonan syndrome and related disorders (NS) are multisystemic conditions affecting approximately 1:1000 individuals. Previous natural history studies were conducted prior to widespread comprehensive genetic testing. This study provides updated longitudinal natural history data in participants with molecularly confirmed NS.

Patients And Methods: Germline RASopathy variants were examined from adult participants in UK Biobank (UKBB; n=469,802), Geisinger MyCode (n=167,050) and Mount Sinai Bio (n=30,470). Variants were classified as per American College of Medical Genetics/Association for Molecular Pathology criteria and reviewed by a RASopathy variant expert.
Severe coronary artery ectesia in a paediatric patient with Noonan syndrome presenting for transcatheter pulmonary valve placement.

Department of Pediatric Cardiology, Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, Orlando, FL, USA.
Coronary ectasia is a very rare phenomenon seen in Noonan syndrome with only a few documented case reports. We describe a 14-year-old with Noonan syndrome and tetralogy of Fallot with described coronary artery ectasia since infancy who presented for possible transcatheter pulmonary valve placement and was found to have severe ectasia of bilateral coronary arteries.

This study investigates irritability, a highly prevalent transdiagnostic construct, in children with Rasopathies and the impact of Rasopathy status on the associations between irritability, emotional dysregulation-related disorders, and social skills impairments. The sample comprise 174 children aged 4-17 (age mean = 9.
