Background Wolfram Syndrome (WS) is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by Diabetes Insipidus, Mellitus, Optic Atrophy, and Deafness identified the acronym "DIDMOAD". The WS gene, WFS1, encodes a transmembrane protein called Wolframin, which recent evidence suggests may serve as novel endoplasmic reticulum calcium channel in pancreatic β-cells neurons. rare disease, with estimated prevalence of 1/550.000 children, carrier frequency 1/354. aim our study was to...
The management of refractory autoimmune cytopenias in childhood is challenging due to the lack established evidence on escalating treatments. long-term efficacy immunosuppressive drugs was evaluated children with referred Haematology Unit Gaslini Children's Hospital between 2001 and 2014.
