ESPE 2022

The 60th Annual ESPE Meeting will be held 15-19 September in Rome, Italy.

The theme of 60th ESPE Meeting is “Personalized Medicine in Paediatric Endocrinology”.
The tremendous advancement in molecular biology has led to innovative approaches to many endocrine conditions thus permitting more accurate diagnoses, tailored therapies and adequate genetic counselling. Whereas the personalized medicine approach has been increasingly applied to diagnose and treat endocrine disorders in adults over the last decade, its implementation in paediatrics is still at the beginning. Therefore, the Meeting will focus on the application of personalized medicine to the child with endocrine [...]

Endo-ERN webinar: Noonan syndrome with emphasis on current guidelines regarding growth, endocrinology and growth hormone therapy

On Tuesday June 7th at 17:00 – 18:00 CET an Endo-ERN webinar about “Noonan syndrome with emphasis on current guidelines regarding growth, endocrinology and growth hormone therapy” will be given by Jovanna Dahlgren from Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden and Kees Noordam from Radboud University Medical Centre, the Netherlands and Centre for Paediatric Endocrinology Zurich (PEZZ), Zurich, Switzerland.

Noonan syndrome (NS) belongs to the group of Noonan syndrome spectrum disorders (NSSD), which is a group of phenotypically related conditions. These syndromes are caused by germline pathogenic variants in genes within the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (Ras/MAPK) signalling pathway. The most [...]
