ESPE Yearbook of Paediatric Endocrinology

Welcome to the 2024 edition of the ESPE Yearbook. It has been a fascinating year of major advances both in the basic sciences and in clinical research, with several new genes, mechanisms and also highly promising treatments. Selected papers appeared in the peer reviewed literature between June 2023 and July 2024. We encourage you to explore widely the easily summarized papers and insightful comments by our expert chapter editors. And, in our ongoing quest to improve the content and format of the Yearbook, we welcome your comments and suggestions.

We are delighted to welcome as new chapter editors several leading clinical researchers in their fields: Cheri Deal (Montreal), Thomas Edouard (Toulouse), Carles Gaston-Massuet (London), Diane Stafford (Stanford), and Paul van Trotsenburg (Amsterdam). We thank retiring chapter editors, Jean-Pierre Chanoine, Ola Nilsson, Gabor Szinnai for their excellent contributions in previous years. As a new initiative this year, we are also delighted to include contributions across several chapters by members of the Young ESPE (YES) Group of young paediatric endocrinologists of the future. They were chosen by the YES Steering Committee following a call to its membership. Please join the YES Group and look out for the same call next year!
