13.15. The I-CAH registry: a platform for international collaboration for improving knowledge and clinical care in congenital adrenal hyperplasia

X Tseretopoulou , J Bryce , M Chen , M McMillan , AK Lucas-Herald , SR Ali , SF Ahmed

Brief Summary: The authors describe the development and utility of an international collaborative database in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). I-CAH serves as a tool for benchmarking clinical care and supporting research and development of novel therapies.Rare disease registries can form the basis of best practice guidelines and allow for monitoring of new drugs and therapeutic interventions. The I-CAH Registry was developed as an international plat...

To read the full abstract: Sci Rep. 2019 Apr 30; 9(1): 6691.In recent years, improved knowledge of the metabolic risks in childhood cancer survivors (CCS) has increasingly focused research on modifiable factors and preventive strategies (1–2). It is well known that therapeutic irradiation can cause detrimental changes in body composition, but it is still unknown whether the specific...

To read the full abstract: Cell 2017;170:199-212 e20T2DM has a disproportionate impact on persons of Latin American descent. GWAS in Mexican and other Latin American samples identified a haplotype containing four missense SNPs, all in SLC16A11, that were much more common in individuals with Native American ancestry than in east Asian, European and African samples. The association was stronge...

To read the full abstract: Nature 2017;550:255-259Loss of appetite, and even aversion to food, is a common experience during periods of illness (e.g. infection and pyrexia) and/or treatment (e.g. chemotherapy). This responses is distinct from the body’s homeostatic mechanisms (the hypothalamic leptin receptor-AGRP-POMC-MC4R axis), which normally regulate appetite and weight gain in ch...
