Pubertal Dynamics of Sertoli and Leydig Cell Dysfunction in Klinefelter Syndrome

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Context Klinefelter syndrome (KS), defined by a 47, XXY karyotype, is commonly associated with progressive testicular failure. The precise timing of Sertoli and Leydig cell dysfunction during puberty remains unclear. Objective To determine the onset and progression of testicular insufficiency during puberty in KS, and to assess whether ...

Challenges in Diagnosing Central Adrenal Insufficiency in Children: Cortisol‐Stimulating Tests are Safe and Often Required

open access: yesClinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The accuracy and safety of cortisol‐stimulating tests (CSTs) for assessing hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis integrity, including the diagnosis of central adrenal insufficiency (CAI), in children remain uncertain. Although these tests can simultaneously evaluate cortisol and growth hormone secretion, the present study ...

Comprehensive Assessment of the KDM2B‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder and the 12q24.31 Microdeletion Syndrome

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We set out to characterize genotype–phenotype correlations in the recently delineated KDM2B‐associated neurodevelopmental disorder. We observe a highly penetrant CxxC domain‐related phenotype with distinct facial features supported by GestaltMatcher. In contrast, our findings point to variable expressivity and incomplete penetrance of loss‐of‐function ...
