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 ...

Novel variants in PUS7 associated with intellectual disability and growth retardation: expanding the clinical spectrum in 13 patients. ABSTRACT Pseudouridylation is a frequent post‐transcriptional modification resulting in uridine isomerization in 5‐ribosyluracil, also called pseudouridine. This mechanism leads to RNA stability with an increase in base‐
