The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2021, Vol. 106, No. 9, e3634–e3643PMID: 33950234Brief Summary: This trial explored the effects of rhGH treatment in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) on respiratory and sleep parameters. The trial was randomized and placebo-controlled for 1 year, followed by a 2-year, open-phase GH treatment period. Polysomnography performed every 6 months revealed no adverse effects of rhGH tr...

Nat Commun. 2021 Feb 11;12(1):959.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33574239/The authors report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) in 1223 cases (defined as autoimmune adrenal failure plus positive serum autoantibodies against 21-hydroxylase) and 4097 healthy controls. Patients with APS-1 were identified and excluded. They identified 9 genome-wid...

Brief summary: The authors designed a polygenic risk score (PRS) to aid in estimating disease susceptibility in patients with autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD).Autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD) is the most common cause of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) in adults. Despite its exceptionally high heritability, tools to estimate disease susceptibility in individual patients are lacking (1–3). The aim of this study was t...
