Background: Arthrogryposis-renal dysfunction-cholestasis (ARC) syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder, exhibits genetic heterogeneity with the VIPAS39 gene pathological variants being a distinct contributor.
Results: We present two related patients from Kosovo, describing the clinical, genetic, and therapeutic aspects of the syndrome. The identified novel VIPAS39 pathological variants (c.

Background: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common endocrine cause of secondary hypertension and can be effectively managed, or even cured, with targeted treatment. Despite this, it remains largely undiagnosed leaving a significant patient population with resistant hypertension and modifiable cardiovascular risk.
Objective: To determine expert consensus on key information about PA that should ideally be taught to medical students as a step toward improving the detection of this common, underdiagnosed, and often easily treated condition.
