I would like to introduce myself to you as a new member of the Endo-ERN ePAG MTG1, from the end of May 2022. I have been nominated by the Dutch Adrenal Society NVACP and from the 25th of May I will take over from Mr. Johan Beun, whom does intend to retire in the summer of 2022.
My connection with adrenal disorders is that I myself since 2016, have been suffering from steroid-induced adrenal insufficiency and diabetes due to prednisone use, in severe asthma.
In my search for information about this adrenal disorder and its treatment, I came into contact [...]

The Second annual conference Idiopathic Ketotic Hypoglycemia will take place on June 11 and June 12, 2022. The annual conference will be fully virtual to make sure everyone has a chance to join, no matter where in the world they live. All of the presentations will be available after the conference for educational purposes.
The goal of the conference is to unite the families affected by idiopathic ketotic hypoglycemia, the experts, the healthcare professionals, and the industry so we together can take the first step towards an enhanced understanding of idiopathic ketotic hypoglycemia.

GloBE-Reg is a new international registry project that has been launched by the Office for Rare Conditions at the University of Glasgow. The project believes that post regulatory approval studies may be more effectively performed through registry-based studies that collect relevant real world data through a joint collaborative approach between scientific centres, industry partners and medical societies. GloBE-Reg will also use this approach to serve the needs of the endocrine community for assessing longer term clinical outcomes, which are particularly important to continuously expand our scientific knowledge and improve care in children.

On Tuesday May 10th at 16:00 – 17:00 CET an Endo-ERN webinar about “New growth treatments for Achondroplasia” will be given by Klaus Mohnike, Jean Pierre Salles and patient representative Patrica Carl.
Achondroplasia is the most common form of disproportionate dwarfism. The rare skeletal dysplasia leads to an adult height of ~130cm. Historically, Achondroplasia is not an ENDO-topic with experts coming from various fields. However, due to new treatment options, there is an overlap because prescriptions and surveillance will be primarily done by endocrinologists. Two medical experts and a patient representative will summarize the current situation and upcoming treatment options.
