Hyperandrogenism and Cardiometabolic Risk in Pre- and Postmenopausal Women-What Is the Evidence?
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Oct 27:dgad590. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgad590. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHyperandrogenism in women, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, ovarian hyperthecosis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and androgen-secreting tumors, are all associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors that include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome. However, it is not clear whether this also implies enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Furthermore, the involvement of obesity and menopausal status for cardiometabolic risk in these women has not bee...

Predictors of cardiovascular morbidities in adults with 21-hydroxylase deficiency congenital adrenal hyperplasia
CONCLUSION: Cardiometabolic morbidities are prevalent among adults with 21OHD. Hypertension, age, and glucocorticoid exposure are the main predictive factors of established cardiovascular diseases in our cohort.PMID:37878953 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgad628 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Increased Prevalence of Accidents and Injuries in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Population-Based Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CAH had an increased prevalence of both injuries and accidents, especially in females and in those born before the neonatal screening program.

Therapeutic management of congenital forms of endocrine hypertension
Eur J Endocrinol. 2023 Oct 17:lvad140. doi: 10.1093/ejendo/lvad140. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCongenital forms of endocrine hypertension are rare and potentially life-threatening disorders, primarily caused by genetic defects affecting adrenal steroid synthesis and activation pathways. These conditions exhibit diverse clinical manifestations, which can be distinguished by their unique molecular mechanisms and steroid profiles. Timely diagnosis and customized management approach are crucial to mitigate unfavorable outcomes associated with uncontrolled hypertension and other related conditions. Treatment options for thes...

Hormonal control during infancy and testicular adrenal rest tumor development in CAH males - a retrospective multi-center cohort study
CONCLUSION: A delayed CAH diagnosis of more than 1 year versus CAH diagnosis within one month after birth was associated with a higher risk of TART development, which may be attributed to poor disease control in early life.PMID:37837609 | DOI:10.1093/ejendo/lvad143 (Source: European Journal of Endocrinology)

Exploring factors impacting haplotype-based noninvasive prenatal diagnosis for single-gene recessive disorders
Clin Genet. 2023 Oct 11. doi: 10.1111/cge.14434. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHaplotype-based noninvasive prenatal diagnosis (NIPD) is applicable for various recessive single-gene disorders in proband families. However, a comprehensive exploration of critical factors influencing the assay performance, such as fetal fraction, informative single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) count, and recombination events, has yet to be performed. It is critical to identify key factors affecting NIPD performance, including its accuracy and success rate, and their impact on clinical diagnostics to guide clinical practice. We conducted a pro...

Testicular Adrenal Rest Tumors – Epidemiology, Diagnosis And Treatment
Testicular adrenal rest tumors (TART) are common in males suffering from congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Correct and timely diagnosis is important for differential diagnosis with malignant testis tumors, related infertility and as TART may worsen in time, especially in the absence of adequate and continuous hormonal control. The rarity of the disease, predominance of small cohorts and case reports and research heterogeneity (concerning type of CAH, patients ´ age and specific focus of the paper) complicate the understanding of this condition.

Total testosterone cut-off value indicating androgen-secreting tumor in premenopausal women with hirsutism
CONCLUSIONS: At the TT level, a two-fold increase CULN in FIPH indicates an ASTM source. In addition, ASR after LDDST is a useful parameter in the exclusion of ASTM sources in the same patient population.PMID:37782181 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202309_33791 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)
