[Growth and development patterns of Noonan syndrome and advances in the treatment of short stature].

Patients with Noonan syndrome (NS) are born with normal or slightly lower body length and weight compared to the normal ranges. However, their height gradually falls behind that of the general population, leading to growth retardation and delayed puberty. In China, the incidence of short stature in patients with NS is approximately 65%.

Impact of Sports on Female Growth and Pubertal Development: A Cohort Study.

Cureus

December 2024

Department of Sports Medicine, Portuguese Rugby Federation, Lisbon, PRT.

Introduction The participation of women in sports is increasing, and the rising training demands may impact growth and pubertal development. High-intensity sports are often linked to delayed growth and bone maturation due to energy deficits and intense regimens. These factors may increase the risk of injury and musculoskeletal issues.

Recently, the knowledge of the genetic basis of fertility disorders has expanded enormously, mainly thanks to the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS). However, the genetic cause of infertility, in the majority of patients, is still undefined. The aim was to identify novel and recurrent pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in patients with isolated infertility or puberty delay using a targeted NGS technique.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), a biomarker secreted by Sertoli cells in the testes, has emerged as a critical indicator of male reproductive function with significant clinical application potential. AMH reflects Sertoli cell activity and plays a pivotal role across different stages of male gonadal function. Firstly, in prepubertal males, AMH levels are crucial for assessing testicular development and the progression of puberty, with delayed or insufficient AMH secretion often being associated with disorders like delayed puberty.

Dairy heifers with gastrointestinal nematodes have reduced growth rates, and delayed age at puberty and milk production onset related to late mammary gland development. IGF1 and Notch signaling systems are important in this process, and an altered profile of serum IGF1 has been associated with the detrimental effect of the nematodes on parenchymal development. In this context, we aimed to study the molecular mechanisms involved in bovine mammary gland development around pre and postpuberty, focusing on proliferative and angiogenic processes that involve the Notch and IGF1 pathways.
