    Title translation Congenital hyperinsulinism : contributions of chemistry, therapeutic response, genetics and imaging.
    Abstract Congenital hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of recurrent hypoglycemia in newborns and children. Early diagnosis and rapid management are essential to avoid hypoglycaemic brain injury and later neurological complications. Management of those patients involves biological evaluation, molecular genetics, imaging techniques and surgical advances. We report the case of a newborn with recurrent hypoglycemia due to congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) caused by a new variant in the ABCC8 gene. Fluorine 18-L-3,4 Dihydroxyphenylalanine Positron Emission Tomography (18F-DOPA PET/CT scan) reported a focal lesion at the isthmus of the pancreas which has been removed by laparoscopic surgery with a complete recovery for the patient.

    Abstract We report the case of an 11-year-old girl who complained about severe asthenia, orthostatic dizziness and abdominal pain for 4 weeks. The primary investigation concluded on febrile urinary tract infection treated by antibiotics. Symptom persistence prompted cardiological and endocrinological investigations. A fluctuation in blood pressure, long QT interval, dilation of the aortic root and left ventricular hypertrophy were documented. Elevated levels of urinary catecholamines together with the presence of a right-sided adrenal mass shown via abdominal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were highly suggestive of a pheochromocytoma. This was confirmed by through iodine-123-metaiodobenzylguathdine ([ 123 I]-mIBG) scintigraphy. Genetic analysis allowed for the exclusion of pathogenic mutations in genes implicated in hereditary paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas but showed a rare somatic mutation in exon 3 of the von Hippel-Lindau gene. The patient was treated with a β-blocker and calcium channel antagonist and underwent laparoscopic right-sided adrenalectomy. Cardiac manifestations resolved soon after surgery indicating that they were secondary to the pheochromocytoma. After 5 years of follow-up, the patient remains asymptomatic without any sign of tumor recurrence. The presence of aortic root dilation, a prolonged QT-interval and left ventricular hypertrophy may be early cardiac manifestations of a pheochromocytoma in a child and should prompt this diagnosis to be evoked.

    Abstract Sexual maturation in humans is characterized by a unique individual variability. Pubertal onset is a highly heritable polygenic trait but it is also affected by environmental factors such as obesity or endocrine disrupting chemicals. The last 30 years have been marked by a constant secular trend toward earlier age at onset of puberty in girls and boys around the world. More recent data, although more disputed, suggest an increased incidence in idiopathic central precocious puberty. Such trends point to a role for environmental factors in pubertal changes. Animal data suggest that the GnRH-neuronal network is highly sensitive to endocrine disruption during development. This review focuses on the most recent data regarding secular trend in pubertal timing as well as potential new epigenetic mechanisms explaining the developmental and transgenerational effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on pubertal timing.

    Abstract Introduction A variable near adult height (NAH) outcome after growth hormone (GH) therapy in Noonan syndrome (NS) patients with short stature has been reported. The main objective of this study was to evaluate NAH and body mass index (BMI) evolution in a large Belgian cohort of NS patients treated for short stature. The secondary objectives were to investigate whether sex, genotype, the presence of a thoracic deformity and/or a heart anomaly might affect NAH and to validate the recently developed NAH prediction model by Ranke et al. Methods Clinical and auxological data of GH treated short NS patients born before 2001 were extracted from the national Belgrow registry. NAH was available in 54 (35 male) genotyped NS using a gene panel of 9 genes, showing pathogenic variants in PTPN11 in 32 and in SOS1 in 5 patients, while in 17 patients gene panel analysis was inconclusive (no mutation group). Results After a median (P10; P90) duration of 5.4 (2.2-10.3) years of GH therapy with a median dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day NS patients reached a median NAH of -1.7 (-3.4; -0.8) SDS. Median total height gain was 1.1 (0.1; 2.3) SDS. Sex, genotype and the presence of a thoracic or cardiac malformation did not correlate with NAH or total height gain. Linear regression modelling revealed that height SDS at start (beta=0.90, p<0.001), mid-parental height SDS (beta =0.27; p=0.005), birth weight SDS (beta=0.15; p=0.051), age at start (beta=0.07; p=0032) were independently associated with NAH SDS. Median BMI SDS increased significantly (p<0.001) from -1.0 (-2.5; 0.0) at start to -0.2 (-1.5; 0.9) at NAH. The observed NAH in a subgroup of 44 patients with more than 3 years of GH treatment was not statistically different from the predicted NAH by the Noonan NAH prediction model of Ranke. Conclusion Long-term GH therapy at a dose of 0.05 mg/kg/day in short NS patients is effective in improving adult height and BMI, irrespective of the genotype and presence or absence of cardiac and or thoracic anomalies.

    Abstract Human adult height has been increasing world-wide for a century and a half. The rate of increase depends on time and place of measurement. Final height appears to have reached a plateau in Northern European countries but it is still increasing in southern European countries as well as Japan. While mean birth length has not changed recently in industrialized countries, the secular trend finally observed in adult height mostly originates during the first 2 years of life. Secular trend in growth is a marker of public health and provides insights into the interaction between growth and environment. It has been shown to be affected by income, social status, infections and nutrition. While genetic factors cannot explain such rapid changes in average population height, epigenetic factors could be the link between growth and environment.

    Abstract Inhibition of androgen signaling during critical stages of ovary development can disrupt folliculogenesis with potential consequences for reproductive function later in life. Many environmental chemicals can inhibit the androgen signaling pathway, which raises the question if developmental exposure to anti-androgenic chemicals can negatively impact female fertility. Here, we report on altered reproductive hormone profiles in prepubertal female rats following developmental exposure to three pesticides with anti-androgenic potential: linuron (25 and 50 mg/kg bw/d), dimethomorph (60 and 180 mg/kg bw/d) and imazalil (8 and 24 mg/kg bw/d). Dams were orally exposed from gestational day 7 (dimethomorph and imazalil) or 13 (linuron) until birth, then until end of dosing at early postnatal life. Linuron and dimethomorph induced dose-related reductions to plasma corticosterone levels, whereas imazalil mainly suppressed gonadotropin levels. In the ovaries, expression levels of target genes were affected by linuron and dimethomorph, suggesting impaired follicle growth. Based on our results, we propose that anti-androgenic chemicals can negatively impact female reproductive development. This highlights a need to integrate data from all levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, as well as the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, when investigating the potential impact of endocrine disruptors on female reproductive development and function.

    Abstract Background: The maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis is crucial for the establishment of reproductive function. In female mice, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activity appears to be key for the first postnatal activation of the neural network promoting the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), i.e. minipuberty. However, in males, the profile of minipuberty as well as the role of nNOS-expressing neurons remain unexplored.
    Methods: nNOS-deficient and wild-type mice were studied during postnatal development. The expression of androgen (AR) and estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) as well as nNOS phosphorylation were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in nNOS neurons in the median preoptic nucleus (MePO), where most GnRH neuronal cell bodies reside, and the hormonal profile of nNOS-deficient male mice was assessed using previously established radioimmunoassay and ELISA methods. Gonadectomy and pharmacological manipulation of ERα were used to elucidate the mechanism of minipubertal nNOS activation and the maturation of the HPG axis.
    Results: In male mice, minipubertal FSH release occurred at P23, preceding the LH surge at P30, when balanopreputial separation occurs. Progesterone and testosterone remained low during minipuberty, increasing around puberty, whereas estrogen levels were high throughout postnatal development. nNOS neurons showed a sharp increase in Ser
    Conclusions: Our results show that the timing of minipuberty differs in male mice when compared to females, but as in the latter, nNOS activity in the preoptic region plays a role in this process. Additionally, akin to male non-human primates, the profile of minipuberty in male mice is shaped by sex-independent mechanisms, and possibly involves extragonadal estrogen sources.
