Disorders of sex development (DSD) are congenital conditions in which chromosomal, gonadal, or phenotypic is atypical. Clinical management DSD often difficult and currently only 13% patients receive an accurate clinical genetic diagnosis. To address this we have developed a massively parallel sequencing targeted gene panel allows us to sequence all 64 known diagnostic genes candidate simultaneously. We analyzed DNA from the largest reported international cohort with (278 46,XY 48 46,XX DSD)....
Inclusion of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) targets for children, adolescents, and young adults <25 years. Adoption a unified fingerstick capillary (SMBG) target between 4 10 mmol/L (70–180 mg/dl), which aligns with the CGM time in range (TIR), while emphasizing tighter fasting 4–8 (70–144 mg/dl). Recognition that disparities social determinants health (SDOH) inequitable access to modern diabetes therapies represent significant barriers achieving optimizing clinical outcomes. Health...
Absence of dystrophin makes skeletal muscle more susceptible to injury, resulting in breaches the plasma membrane and chronic inflammation Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).Current management by glucocorticoids has unclear molecular benefits harsh side effects.It is uncertain whether therapies that avoid hormonal stunting growth development, and/or immunosuppression, would be or less beneficial.Here, we discover an oral drug with mechanisms provide efficacy through anti-inflammatory...
Abstract Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is the most prevalent cause of liver disease worldwide, with a single approved therapeutic. Previous research has shown that interleukin-22 (IL-22) can suppress β-cell stress, reduce local islet inflammation, restore appropriate insulin production, reverse hyperglycemia, and ameliorate resistance in preclinical models diabetes. In clinical trials long-acting forms IL-22 have led to increased proliferation skin intestine, where...
OBJECTIVE To compare demographic, clinical, and therapeutic characteristics of children with type 1 diabetes age &lt;6 years across three international registries: Diabetes Prospective Follow-Up Registry (DPV; Europe), T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Network (T1DX-QI; U.S.), Australasian Data (ADDN; Australasia). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS An analysis was conducted comparing 2019–2021 prospective registry data from 8,004 children. RESULTS Mean ± SD ages at diagnosis were 3.2 1.4 (DPV...
OBJECTIVE Technology use in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is impacted by socioeconomic status (SES). This analysis explored relationships between SES, glycemic outcomes, and technology use. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A cross-sectional of HbA1c data from 2,822 Australian youth with T1D was undertaken. Residential postcodes were used to assign SES based on the Index Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD). Linear regression models evaluate associations among IRSD quintile, HbA1c, management...
<title>Abstract</title> The gut microbiomes of traditional Indigenous and 'Western' societies differ markedly in diversity composition. Western diet modifies the microbiome, promoting cardiometabolic disorders that disproportionately affect Australians. Studies are underrepresented literature comparative studies young children living lacking, limiting our understanding early-life microbiome development different cultural contexts. Therefore, we analyzed metagenomes 50 Australian infants...
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can detect early dysglycemia in older children and adults with presymptomatic type 1 diabetes (T1D) predict risk of progression to clinical onset. However, CGM data for very young at greatest disease are lacking. This study aimed investigate the use measured being longitudinally observed Australian Environmental Determinants Islet Autoimmunity (ENDIA) from birth age 10 years.
Type1Screen offers islet autoantibody testing to Australians with a family history of type 1 diabetes (T1D) the dual aims preventing diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and enabling use disease-modifying therapy. We describe screening monitoring outcomes 2 years after implementing in-home capillary blood spot sampling. Data from 2,064 participants who registered between July 2022 June 2024 were analyzed: 1,507 557 chose venipuncture respectively. compared baseline characteristics for 1,243 (967 276...

This cohort study examines whether there is a temporal association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the development of islet autoimmunity among Australian children with first-degree relative type 1 diabetes.
Abstract Predicting and quantifying phenotypic consequences of genetic variants in rare disorders is a major challenge, particularly pertinent for ‘actionable’ genes such as thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 (encoded by the X-linked SLC16A2 gene), where loss-of-function (LoF) cause neurodevelopmental (treatable) metabolic disorder males. The combination deep phenotyping data with functional computational tests outcomes population cohorts, enabled us to: (i) identify aetiology divergent...
Introduction: Physical activity has health benefits for people living with type 1 diabetes (T1D), however there are barriers limiting their ability to meet minimum recommended levels of moderate-to-vigorous-physical-activity (MVPA). We aimed measure physical and in children < 7 years age T1D compare general population data guidelines. Methods: Children were recruited from two paediatric centres Australia. was measured days using an accelerometer. Parents completed questionnaires related...
Abstract Context Patients with mutations in thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 have developmental delay and chronic thyrotoxicosis associated being underweight having cardiovascular dysfunction. Objective Our previous trial showed improvement of key clinical biochemical features during 1-year treatment the T3 analogue Triac, but long-term follow-up data are needed. Methods In this real-life retrospective cohort study, we investigated efficacy Triac MCT8-deficient patients 33 sites. The primary...
Resistance to cytotoxic drugs is thought be a major cause of treatment failure in childhood neuroblastoma, and members the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily may contribute this phenomenon by active efflux chemotherapeutic agents from cancer cells. As member C subfamily ABC transporters, multidrug resistance-associated protein MRP4/ABCC4 has ability export variety endogenous exogenous substances across plasma membrane. In light its capacity for drug efflux, MRP4 been studied...

Abstract Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is well-recognised as a continuum heralded by the development of islet autoantibodies, progression to autoimmunity causing beta cell destruction, culminating in insulin deficiency and clinical disease. Abnormalities glucose homeostasis are known exist well before onset typical symptoms. Laboratory-based tests such oral tolerance test (OGTT) glycated haemoglobin (HbA 1c ) have been used stage T1D assess risk T1D. Continuous monitoring (CGM) can detect early...
