Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) derived glycemic variables, and study their association with HbA1c and socio-economic factors in young people with Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS Ninety-two participants [age 15.7 ± 5.0 y (mean ± SD), HbA1c 8.0 ± 1.5% (mean ± SD)] wore a professional CGM sensor for 14 d. RESULTS Median (IQR) time in range (TIR) was 41 (18)%. Participants spent 41 ± 20% of their day in hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dl), and 14 (13)% in hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dl). High glycemic variability (percent CV >36%) was seen in 92% participants. Older age at diagnosis was associated with higher TIR (β = 0.267, p = 0.01), lower time above range (TAR) (β = -0.352, p <0.001), but higher time below range (TBR) (β = 0.274, p = 0.006). The use of NPH vs. glargine basal insulin was associated with higher TBR (β = -0.262, p = 0.009) but lower TAR (β = 0.202, p = 0.041). HbA1c showed negative correlation with TIR (r = -0.449, p <0.001) and TBR (r = -0.466, p <0.001) and positive correlation with TAR (r = 0.580, p <0.001) and mean glucose (r = 0.589, p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate wide gaps between the recommended vs. real world glycemic variables in patients with T1DM in this region on multiple daily insulin injections. CGM identifies glycemic variability and complements HbA1c in improving glycemic control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect on glycemic control and acceptability of basic carbohydrate counting (BCC) in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1DM). METHODS Ninety-two children and young adults (6-25 y of age) with T1DM were randomized to receive either routine nutrition education (RNE), which addressed food groups, glycemic index, and effects of food and exercise on glycemia, or learn BCC with personalized portion size education. A continuous glucose monitoring study and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were performed at baseline and after 12 wk. The primary outcome was a change in time-in-range from baseline through 12 wk. A questionnaire on the acceptability of BCC was administered. RESULTS At 12 wk, there was no significant difference in change in time-in-range between the two groups (BCC group: 1.2 ± 12.2; RNE group: 1.9 ± 12.3; P = 0.786). No significant changes were observed in the percentage of time that blood glucose was >180 or >250 mg/dL; <70 or <54 mg/dL; glycemic variability, percentage of nights with hypoglycemia and HbA1c. In subgroup analysis, there was a significant decrease in HbA1c in the BCC group among participants with higher maternal education (-0.5 versus 0.2, P = 0.042). The total score on the acceptability questionnaire was higher in the BCC group (P = 0.022). CONCLUSION Among children and young adults in our region with T1DM, BCC provided flexibility in food choices and perception of greater ease of insulin adjustment. Although BCC was equivalent to RNE in terms of glycemic control, larger studies may reveal benefit in outcomes in certain subgroups.

Abstract
Monogenic forms of rickets are being increasingly recognized. However, vitamin D-dependent rickets 1b (VDDR1b) due to CYP2R1 gene mutation is exceedingly rare. We report a 4.5-year-old girl and her younger sibling who presented with clinical, radiological, and biochemical features suggestive of nutritional rickets that did not resolve despite repeated therapeutic doses of vitamin D3. This led to evaluation for resistant rickets, which revealed a novel homozygous CYP2R1 c.50_51insTCGGCGGCGC; p.Leu18ArgfsTer79 variant in the affected siblings. The children were treated with oral calcium and cholecalciferol, dose titrated to maintain serum alkaline phosphatase, 25 hydroxy vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone levels in the normal range, with good clinical and radiological response. This case highlights the importance of genetic evaluation in patients with suspected nutritional rickets who have a family history of similar illness and require higher than usual doses of vitamin D for healing or relapse on stopping treatment. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of VDDR1b reported from Asia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric endocrine disorders requiring surgical intervention are rare and so are experienced surgeons dealing with these. The aim of the current study was to investigate disease profile and perioperative outcome of pediatric patients with surgical endocrine disorders in an endocrine surgery unit. METHODS This retrospective study (Sep 1989-Aug 2019) consisted of pediatric endocrine surgery patients (<18 years) who were managed by a team of pediatric endocrinologists and endocrine surgeons at our center. Patients were divided into three cohorts consisting of a decade each. Clinico-pathologic variables, perioperative events operative and follow-up details were recorded. RESULTS A total of 332 children were included and their mean age was 14.6 ± 3.9 years (M:F = 1:1.6). Thyroid disorders were most prevalent (59.8%), followed by adrenal (28.2%), parathyroid (10.4%), and pancreas (1.5%). Incidence of benign, malignant, and congenital/developmental disorders were 65.4, 28.1 and 8.3, respectively. Familial association was observed in 8.9% children, which is highest among pheochromocytoma patients. Overall, 201 thyroidectomies + associated procedures, 35 parathyroidectomies, 96 adrenal and paraganglioma resections, and 5 pancreatic procedures were performed. Median hospital stay was 5.6 ± 4.1 days. The number of cases increased significantly over 3 decades. Clinical profile and outcome did not vary except for significant decrease in incidence of malignant pathology (p = 0.04) and increase in VHL cases (p = 0.04) in the last decade though overall increase in familial cases was nonsignificant (p = 0.11). No perioperative mortality was observed except for 3% after adrenalectomy. CONCLUSION A team of dedicated endocrine surgeons and pediatric endocrinologists is effective in management of pediatric endocrine surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While the frequency of islet antibody-negative (idiopathic) type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is reported to be increased in Indian children, its aetiology has not been studied. We investigated the role of monogenic diabetes in the causation of islet antibody-negative T1DM. METHODS We conducted a multicenter, prospective, observational study of 169 Indian children (age 1-18 years) with recent-onset T1DM. All were tested for antibodies against GAD65, islet antigen-2, and zinc transporter 8 using validated ELISA. Thirty-four islet antibody-negative children underwent targeted next-generation sequencing for 31 genes implicated in monogenic diabetes using the Illumina platform. All mutations were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS Thirty-five (21%) children were negative for all islet antibodies. Twelve patients (7% of entire cohort, 34% of patients with islet antibody-negative T1DM) were detected to have pathogenic or likely pathogenic genetic variants. The most frequently affected locus was WFS1, with 9 patients (5% of entire cohort, 26% of islet antibody-negative). These included 7 children with homozygous and 1 patient each with a compound heterozygous and heterozygous mutation. Children with Wolfram syndrome 1 (WS) presented with severe insulin-requiring diabetes (including 3 patients with ketoacidosis), but other syndromic manifestations were not detected. In 3 patients, heterozygous mutations in HNF4A, ABCC8, and PTF1A loci were detected. CONCLUSION Nearly one-quarter of Indian children with islet antibody-negative T1DM had recessive mutations in the WFS1 gene. These patients did not exhibit other features of WS at the time of diagnosis. Testing for monogenic diabetes, especially WS, should be considered in Indian children with antibody-negative T1DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To document glycemic patterns during school and sleep by continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) in school-going children with type 1 diabetes. To correlate glycemia with meal composition. METHODS Patients with type 1 diabetes (n = 22) aged 4 to 19 years were enrolled. Food recording was taught, and a retrospective CGMS sensor was worn by them for 6 to 14 days. Dietary composition and glycemic patterns during school and sleep were analyzed. RESULTS The mean (SD) of dietary carbohydrate was 62.9 (9.2)% of daily calories (high) and protein 13 (2.5) % (low). Sensor glucose > 180 mg/dL (hyperglycemia) was detected on 73% of 139 school day CGMS records and involved 58 % of the school time. Sensor glucose < 70 mg/dL (hypoglycemia) was present on 45% of 172 nights. Time below range was 20 (25) %. Mean (SD) protein content (g) of dinner was significantly higher when it included lentil (dal) than without [20.4 (9.7) vs 15.3 (8.3); P < 0.001]. Hypoglycemia occurred less often on nights with vs without dal for dinner (42.1% vs 51.7%; P = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS Hyperglycemia during school hours was notable. The inclusion of lentil (dal) in the night meal in the traditional diet may reduce nocturnal hypoglycemia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome and its clinical and hormonal profile in females with type 1 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS 65 T1DM females were evaluated for presence of PCOS by Rotterdam ESHRE/ASRM consensus criteria and compared with age and BMI matched females with PCOS without diabetes and females with T1DM without PCOS. RESULTS According to Rotterdam criteria 18/65 (27%) had PCOS. Prevalence of androgen excess, hirsutism, menstrual dysfunction and PCOM was 26%, 3%, 21% and 52%, respectively. Females with T1DM who had PCOS did not differ from females with T1DM without PCOS. When the group of T1DM with PCOS was compared with PCOS females without diabetes, they had significantly lower hirsutism score (median, IQR; 1.5, 0-3 vs. 11.5, 0-16.5, p = 0.04), significantly higher waist hip ratio (0.91, 0.89-0.99 vs. 0.86, 0.80-0.89, p = 0.004) and SHBG (in nmol, 54.4, 38-86.2 vs. 28.3, 20.4-37.4, p = 0.004). CONCLUSION Females with T1DM have a high prevalence of menstrual abnormalities, hyperandrogenism and PCOS which is not related to metabolic control, age of onset of diabetes or insulin dose. Polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperandrogenism, type 1 diabetes, menstrual irregularity, hirsutism.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Von Hippel–Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a familial cancer syndrome caused by mutations in VHL gene. It is characterized by the formation of benign and malignant tumors like retinal angioma, cerebellar hemangioblastoma, spinal hemangioblastoma, renal cell carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, pancreatic and renal cysts, and endolymphatic sac tumors. Germline mutations in VHL gene have also been reported in isolated VHL-associated tumors. VHL gene is a small gene with 3 coding exons and can be easily tested even in a resource constraint setting.
Objective
To describe clinical presentation and estimate the diagnostic yield of in VHL and VHL-associated tumors.
Methods
This is a descriptive study in a hospital setting. Here, we describe the clinical and molecular data of 69 patients with suspected VHL or having VHL-associated tumors. Sanger sequencing of coding sequences and conserved splice sites of VHL gene were done in all patients. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) of VHL gene to detect large deletions/duplications was performed for 18 patients with no pathogenic sequence variations.
Results
Among tumor types at presentation, pheochromocytoma was seen in 49% (34/69), hemangioblastoma was seen in 30% (21/69), and renal cell carcinoma was seen in 7% (5/69). Rest had other tumors like paraganglioma, endolymphatic sac papillary tumors, cerebellar astrocytoma and pancreatic cyst. Seven patients (10%) had more than one tumor at the time of diagnosis. Pathogenic variations in VHL gene were identified in 31probands by Sanger sequencing; 18 were missense, 2 nonsense and 2 small indels. A heterozygous deletion of exon 3 was detected by MLPA in one patient among 18 patients for whom MLPA was done. Overall, the molecular yield was 46% cases (32/69). Family history was present in 7 mutation positive cases (22%). Overall, 11 families (16%) opted for pre-symptomatic mutation testing in the family.
Conclusions
Mutation testing is indicated in VHL and VHL-associated tumors. The testing facility is easy and can be adopted easily in developing countries like India. The yield is good, and with fairly high incidence of familial cases, molecular testing can help in pre-symptomatic testing and surveillance.

Abstract
Congenital hyperinsulinemia (CHI) is a genetically and clinically heterogenous disorder. In addition to the standard care of management of the proband, genetic counseling regarding the risk of recurrence in the future siblings is an important part in the management of the disorder. The counseling needs identification of accurate etiology and is challenging due to the complexity of the molecular mechanisms of CHI. This case highlights the importance of molecular testing which not only helped in planning the management of the proband with CHI but also helped in providing genetic counseling for which the family had consulted the medical genetics department.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Craniopharyngiomas are associated with long-term morbidity in the form of hormone deficiencies, visual deficits, and hypothalamic obesity. OBJECTIVE To study the long-term outcomes, including cure rates, endocrine dysfunction, visual dysfunction, hypothalamic obesity, and mortality in pediatric-onset craniopharyngiomas. METHODS A retrospective data analysis of pediatric (onset <18 years) craniopharyngioma diagnosed between 2003 and 2018. Data were collected from electronic hospital records, case files, and direct patient interviews. RESULTS The mean age at presentation was 10.4 ± 4.5 years (n = 62). The median duration of symptoms at diagnosis was 6 months (3-13 months). At presentation, central diabetes insipidus was present in four (6.5%), central hypothyroidism in 27 (43.5%), secondary adrenal insufficiency in 20 (32%) and delayed puberty in 15 (24%) patients. Hypothalamus was involved in 59/60 patients (98%). At last visit, 22.6% were obese in comparison to 4.6% at presentation, and anterior pituitary deficiency was present in 90% of the patients. Sixty-one percent patients (n = 62) had delayed puberty and 67% (n = 53) had short-stature. Out of 35 short children, nine (14%) children who received growth hormone had significant increase in height SD score (-3.8 (1.4) at start vs. -2.9 (1.2) at last follow-up; P = 0.008). Tumor progression was significantly less in the group that received RT compared to those who did not (8% vs. 39%; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Childhood-onset craniopharyngioma results in significant morbidity. The prevalence of pituitary hormones deficiency, visual deficits, and obesity are high at long-term follow-up. Incomplete tumor removal is also frequent. Thus, long-term monitoring is necessary for the timely management of the morbidities associated with craniopharyngioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The HLA associations of celiac disease (CD) in north Indians differ from that in Europeans. Our dietary gluten is among the highest in the world. Data on CD in people with diabetes (PWD) in north India is scant. OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence and clinical profile of CD in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Retrospective review of case records of PWD with onset ≤18 years of age, registered between 2009 and 2020, having at least one anti tissue-transglutaminase (anti-tTG) serology report. RESULTS Of 583 registered PWD, 398 (68.2%) had celiac serology screening. A positive report was obtained in 66 (16.6%). Of 51 biopsied people, 22 (5.5%) were diagnosed to have CD, 12 in the first 2 years of diabetes onset. Symptomatic CD at diagnosis was seen in 63% (14/22). Age at diabetes onset (median [IQR] age 5.5 years, [2-12]) was lower in PWD and CD compared to PWD alone (10 years, [7-14], p < 0.016). Of 36 biopsied children with anti-tTG >100 au/ml, 20 (55.5%) had CD, while 2 out of 15 (13.3%) of those with lower anti-tTG titer had histopathology suggestive of CD. Of 23 seropositive children not diagnosed with CD, 5 of 8 with anti tTG >100 au/ml, and all 15 with lower anti-tTG, had normalization of titers over the 24 (10-41) months. CONCLUSIONS Our prevalence of CD is comparable to international data. Celiac disease was common with younger age at onset of T1D and higher titer of celiac serology. A high proportion was symptomatic of CD at diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Xp22.3 region is characterized by low frequency of interspersed repeats and low GC content. Several clinically important genes including ANOS1 (KAL1) reside in this region. This gene was first identified due to translocation between chromosomes X and Y in a patient with Kallmann syndrome. Case Presentation A 20 year old male presented with complaints of delayed secondary sexual characteristics, impaired sense of smell, and poor scholastic performance. On examination, he had short stature (151 cm; <3rd centile). His sexual maturity corresponded to Tanner stage 3. Stretched penile length was 3.6 cm (<3rd centile). Right testis was undescended with low left testicular volume (12 ml). There was mild ichthyosis over abdomen and back. He had hyposmia, hoarse voice, and synkinesia. Investigations were suggestive of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism. Karyotype revealed an extra chromosomal material on p arm of chromosome X (46,Xp+,Y). On cytogenetic microarray, deletion of 8.3 Mb on Xp22.33 region and duplication of 12.8 Mb on Yq11.22 region were identified. The breakpoint on X chromosome resulted in deletion of exons 7-14 of ANOS1 gene and complete STS, NLGN4X, ARSL (ARSE), SHOX, and VCX genes. Conclusion Patients diagnosed with Kallmann syndrome should receive careful clinical evaluation to detect presence of a contiguous gene syndrome.

Abstract
Background & objectives The association between hyperglycaemia at admission, diabetes mellitus (DM) status and mortality in hospitalized SARS-CoV-2 infected patients is not clear. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between DM, at-admission hyperglycaemia and 28 day mortality in patients admitted with moderate-severe SARS-CoV-2 infection requiring intensive care. Methods All consecutive moderate-to-severe patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs) over six months were enrolled in this single-centre, retrospective study. The predicators for 28 day mortality were analysed from the independent variables including DM status and hyperglycaemia at-admission. Results Four hundred and fifty two patients with SARS-CoV-2 were admitted to the ICU, with a mean age of 58.5±13.4 yr, 78.5 per cent being male, HbA1c of 7.2 per cent (6.3-8.8) and 63.7 per cent having DM. Overall, 28 day mortality was 48.9 per cent. In univariate analysis, mortality in diabetes patients was comparable with non-diabetes (47.9 vs. 50.6%, P=0.58), while it was significantly higher in hyperglycaemic group (60.4 vs. 35.8%, P<0.001). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, after adjusting for age, sex and comorbidities, hyperglycaemia at-admission was an independent risk factor of mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.06-1.99), P<0.05]. Interpretation & conclusions This study showed that the presence of hyperglycaemia at-admission in critically ill SARS-CoV-2 patients was an independent predictor of 28 day mortality. However, the findings may be susceptible to unmeasured confounding, and more research from prospective studies is required.

Abstract
Bronchial carcinoid is the most common primary malignant lung tumor in children; however, it remains a very rare diagnosis due to the overall low incidence of childhood lung malignancies. We report a case of a 17-year-old girl with respiratory symptoms who was initially misdiagnosed as a case of COVID pneumonia. She was later detected to have a right mainstem bronchial carcinoid which was managed successfully by a multi-disciplinary team.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the prevalence and clinical characteristics of islet antibody-negative (idiopathic) type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) among Indian children and adolescents at the time of diagnosis of illness. METHODS In a hospital-based cross-sectional study, we studied 110 patients with T1DM aged ≤18 years. This included 61 patients with duration of diabetes ≤2 weeks (mean ± SD age of onset 9.9 ± 4.4 years) and 49 patients with duration 2 to 12 weeks. Antibodies against GAD65 (GADA), IA-2 (IA-2A) and zinc transporter 8 (ZnT8A), detected by radio-binding assay, were measured in all patients. Insulin autoantibody (IAA) was measured only in subjects with duration ≤2 weeks, using a competitive radio-binding assay. RESULTS The prevalence of GADA, IA-2A, and ZnT8A was 53%, 34%, and 29% respectively, while IAA (measured in 61 patients) was detected in 31%. All four antibodies were absent in 17 of 61 (28%) patients. The prevalence of islet antibody-negative patients was similar among both sexes and in children with onset younger and older than 10 years. ZnT8A was the only antibody detected in four patients, and its measurement resulted in 6% reduction in islet antibody-negative patients. Patients with idiopathic T1DM did not differ in their clinical features or fasting plasma C-peptide at the onset and after follow-up of 1 year. Compared with idiopathic T1DM, antibody-positive patients had an increased allele frequency of HLA DRB1*0301 (46% vs 14%, OR = 5.10 [confidence interval = 1.61-16.16], P = .003). CONCLUSION Nearly 30% of Indian patients were negative for all islet antibodies at the onset of T1DM. Patients with idiopathic T1DM had similar clinical features to antibody-positive subjects.

Abstract
Background: Subtle structural and functional changes may precede the onset of overt global left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Data pertaining to tissue velocity imaging (TVI)and strain imaging to assess regional myocardial function and flow mediated vasodilatation are limited in young patients with diabetes. Materials: Conventional echocardiography, TVI parameters along with strain (S), and strain rate (SR) were measured in 50 young diabetics (15.16 ± 2.95 years, mean HBA1c 8.15 ± 1.37 g %) and 25 controls (15.60 ± 2.51 years). Flow-mediated dilation (FMD), nitrate--mediated dilatation (NMD), and carotid intima–media thickness were also assessed. Results: Conventional echocardiography parameters were similar in patients and controls; however, deceleration time of the mitral inflow velocity (early deceleration time) was significantly shorter in patients when compared with controls (149.06 ± 31.66 vs. 184.56 ± 19.27 ms, P =0.001). Patients had lower strain values at the basal lateral LV (21.39 ± 4.12 vs. 23.78 ± 2.02; P =0.001), mid-lateral LV (21.43 ± 4.27 vs. 23.17 ± 1.92 P =0.02), basal septum (20.59 ± 5.28 vs. 22.91 ± 2.00; P = 0.01), and midseptum (22.06 ± 4.75 vs. 24.10 ± 1.99; P = 0.01) as compared to controls. SR at the basal and midsegments of the lateral LV wall and at the basal septum was also significantly lower in diabetic patients. Diabetic children also had endothelial dysfunction with significantly lower FMD (8.36 ± 4.27 vs. 10.57 ± 4.12, P = 0.04). Conclusions: LV strain indices and flow--mediated dilatation are impaired in asymptomatic children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus despite absence of overt heart failure and normal ejection fraction. Early detection of subclinical regional myocardial dysfunction by deformation analysis including strain and strain rate may be useful in the asymptomatic diabetic population.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Do the siblings of Asian Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) manifest increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk by carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD)? SUMMARY ANSWER Siblings had functional endothelial dysfunction (FMD was reduced) when compared to age and BMI-matched controls while sisters but not brothers had structural endothelial dysfunction (CIMT was increased). WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Siblings of women with PCOS have increased metabolic risk but it varies with ethnicity. Among Asian Indians the only previous study has shown reduced FMD in brothers. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION This study was a tertiary care hospital-based cross-sectional case control study in the outpatient department of the endocrine clinic over 18 months. In total, 41 brothers and 35 sisters of women with PCOS (diagnosed by 2003 Rotterdam criteria) were recruited. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Age (±2 years), sex and BMI- (±1 kg/m2) matched controls were selected. Cases and controls underwent clinical and biochemical investigations. Cardiologists performed doppler ultrasonogram to determine CIMT and FMD in a blinded fashion. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE FMD was decreased in brothers [median 12.3% interquartile range (5.1, 19) versus 18.4% (12.6, 21.5), P = 0.002] and in sisters [10.8% (5.8, 17.2) versus 14.7% (11.4, 18.2), P = 0.027] when compared to controls. CIMT was higher in sisters [median 0.4 mm (0.35, 0.5) versus 0.3 mm (0.3, 0.4), P= 0.002] when compared to controls but not in brothers. Metabolic syndrome was more common in brothers (27% versus 5% in controls, P = 0.007) even after matching for age and BMI. Insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance and acanthosis) was higher in brothers as compared to controls. Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate was significantly elevated in brothers. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION There may have been referral bias of patients with PCOS in a tertiary care institute, and the radiological assessment was performed by two cardiologists serially on different time frames over the study duration. Power was only 50% in CIMT for brothers. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Siblings of women with PCOS had higher CVD risk over and above the already pre-existing higher metabolic risk associated with Asian Indian ethnicity and therefore the siblings require vigilant management. Endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance seems to be a heritable trait of PCOS independent of obesity, which if confirmed in other ethnicities would have important implications.

Abstract
Cushing's disease is rare in the paediatric age group. The disease manifestations are similar to that seen in adults. Most of the management protocols have, therefore, been adopted from experience in adults and the therapeutic strategies employed in the latter group. Management of paediatric Cushing's disease poses significant challenges with regard to achieving an optimal growth, a proper body composition, an adequate bone health and reproductive capability as well as a good quality of life. This article reviews the special clinical, biochemical, radiological, surgical, and adjunctive therapeutic considerations in paediatric Cushing's disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diagnosing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during adolescence is challenging because features of normal pubertal development overlap with adult diagnostic criteria. The international evidence-based PCOS Guideline aimed to promote accurate and timely diagnosis, to optimise consistent care, and to improve health outcomes for adolescents and women with PCOS. METHODS International healthcare professionals, evidence synthesis teams and consumers informed the priorities, reviewed published data and synthesised the recommendations for the Guideline. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was applied to appraise the evidence quality and the feasibility, acceptability, cost, implementation and strength of the recommendations. RESULTS This paper focuses on the specific adolescent PCOS Guideline recommendations. Specific criteria to improve diagnostic accuracy and avoid over diagnosis include: (1) irregular menstrual cycles defined according to years post-menarche; > 90 days for any one cycle (> 1 year post-menarche), cycles< 21 or > 45 days (> 1 to < 3 years post-menarche); cycles < 21 or > 35 days (> 3 years post-menarche) and primary amenorrhea by age 15 or > 3 years post-thelarche. Irregular menstrual cycles (< 1 year post-menarche) represent normal pubertal transition. (2) Hyperandrogenism defined as hirsutism, severe acne and/or biochemical hyperandrogenaemia confirmed using validated high-quality assays. (3) Pelvic ultrasound not recommended for diagnosis of PCOS within 8 years post menarche. (4) Anti-Müllerian hormone levels not recommended for PCOS diagnosis; and (5) exclusion of other disorders that mimic PCOS. For adolescents who have features of PCOS but do not meet diagnostic criteria an 'at risk' label can be considered with appropriate symptomatic treatment and regular re-evaluations. Menstrual cycle re-evaluation can occur over 3 years post menarche and where only menstrual irregularity or hyperandrogenism are present initially, evaluation with ultrasound can occur after 8 years post menarche. Screening for anxiety and depression is required and assessment of eating disorders warrants consideration. Available data endorse the benefits of healthy lifestyle interventions to prevent excess weight gain and should be recommended. For symptom management, the combined oral contraceptive pill and/or metformin may be beneficial. CONCLUSIONS Extensive international engagement accompanied by rigorous processes honed both diagnostic criteria and treatment recommendations for PCOS during adolescence.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Subtle structural and functional changes may precede the onset of overt global left ventricular dysfunction and obvious reduction of ejection fraction (EF), especially in young diabetics. Data pertaining to tissue velocity indices (TVI) and strain imaging to assess regional myocardial function and flow mediated vasodilatation is limited in young patients with diabetes.
Purpose
To evaluate conventional echocardiography parameters, tissue doppler indices, global and regional strain, carotid intimal medial thickness (CIMT), endothelial dependent (FMD) and independent function (NMD) of brachial artery in young patients (age <18 years) with type 1 diabetes and compare them with matched controls.
Methods
Conventional echocardiography parameters, tissue velocity indices (TVI) parameters along with strain (S), and strain rate (SR) in basal and mid left ventricular (LV) lateral wall, right ventricular (RV) lateral wall and septum were measured in 50 young diabetics (age 15.16±2.95 years, mean HBA1c 8.15±1.37 gm %) and 25 controls (age 15.60±2.51 years). Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), nitrate mediated dilatation and carotid intimal media thickness (CIMT) were also estimated.
Results
Conventional echocardiography parameters were similar in patients and controls however deceleration time of the mitral inflow velocity (EDT) was significantly shorter in patients when compared with controls (149.06±31.66 vs. 184.56±19.27 ms, p<0.05). Lateral early diastolic myocardial velocity (LV-Em) was significantly lower (10.30±0.99 vs. 11.67±3.21, p<0.05) whereas lateral late diastolic myocardial velocity (LV-Am) was significantly higher than controls (11.73±1.44 vs. 8.82±1.69, p<0.05), thus a significantly lower ratio of early/late diastolic velocity at the basal segment of lateral LV (LV-Em/Am). Lower strain values at the basal lateral LV (21.39±4.12 vs. 23.78±2.02; p<0.05), mid lateral LV (21.43±4.27 vs. 23.17±1.92; p<0.05), basal septum (20.59±5.28 vs. 22.91±2.00; p<0.05), and mid septum (22.06±4.75 vs. 24.10±1.99; p<0.05) as compared to controls. SR at the basal and mid segments of the lateral LV wall and at the basal septum were also significantly lower in diabetic subjects. Strain rate (SR) in mid septal, basal and mid RV were lower than controls although not statistically significant. Patients also had significantly lower flow mediated dilatation (FMD) (8.36±4.27 vs. 10.57±4.12, p<0.05) implying endothelial dysfunction.
Strain rate in diabetic patient
Conclusion
Left ventricular strain indices are impaired in asymptomatic children and adolescents with type 1 DM despite absence of overt heart failure and normal ejection fraction. Early detection of subclinical regional myocardial dysfunction by deformation analysis including strain and strain rate may be useful in the asymptomatic diabetic population. In addition, evidence of endothelial dysfunction in the form of impaired flow mediated vasodilatation was observed in the diabetic children.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex polygenic endocrine disorder. Familial clustering of phenotype has been known and it endorses the heritability of the disease. Among brothers of women with PCOS, we found significantly higher waist circumference, elevated blood pressure and insulin resistance when compared with age and BMI matched controls. Serum DHEAS level (6.2 vs. 4.5 μmol/L) was also significantly elevated among brothers. These findings in Indian ethnicity are concordant with previous studies and emphasize the need for counseling the first-degree family members of women with PCOS for lifestyle modification to reduce future risk of metabolic syndrome. We reiterate that insulin resistance (independent of obesity) and DHEAS may represent a PCOS phenotype. Funding agency - intramural grant Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 8-13% of women. The Rotterdam diagnostic criteria include polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) on ultrasound, but given recognized challenges, serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is proposed as an alternative. To inform international PCOS guidelines, a systematic review was completed. Key identified gaps include large international studies in well-defined populations across the lifespan, clustering of AMH with PCOS features, relationships to long-term health outcomes, and improved quality, assay standardization, and sample handling, all needed to determine cut offs. Here we identify research priorities to address these gaps and enhance AMH utility in PCOS. Once issues are addressed, AMH levels could replace more costly and less accessible ultrasound in PCOS diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE The effect of economic assistance to underprivileged families with type 1 diabetes has never been described. Such a study is relevant as logistic and cultural factors may preclude an anticipated good outcome. The objective of the study is to determine the impact of economic and educational intervention on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and diabetes knowledge. METHODS Eighty-five consecutive participants were prospectively provided insulin and glucose strips for 1 year. From the 6th to 12th month, patients were randomized such that half of them (telephone group) received proactive telephonic advice by a diabetes educator, while the non-telephone group received usual care. HbA1c and diabetes knowledge were measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months. RESULTS Significant improvement was seen in HbA1c with provision of free diabetes supplies, when patients were compared with their own HbA1c values during the prior 36 months (baseline [8.38 ± 2.0%], at 3 months [8.0 ± 1.6%] and at 6 months [8.1 ± 1.5%, P = 0.0106]). Knowledge score increased from baseline (48 ± 15) to 6 months (58 ± 13, P < 0.001). No difference was seen between the telephone and non-telephone groups in HbA1c from the 6th to 9th and 12th month. The knowledge score showed significant improvement in the telephone group during the proactive telephonic advice study compared with the non-telephone group (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS The provision of free medical supplies improved HbA1c and diabetes knowledge. Intensive telephone contact improved knowledge, not HbA1c. These results provide important background for policy makers and diabetes management teams.

Abstract
Menstrual irregularity and evidence of hyperandrogenism are characteristic features of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescents. Diagnosis of PCOS is challenging as clinical features cannot be differentiated from the events of normal development. The specific aetiology of PCOS is not known but it is a complex disease resulting from interplay of genetic susceptibility, intrauterine, extra-uterine and environmental factors. Obesity and insulin resistance are common associations, because of which patients are at high risk for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle modifications are recommended in all patients with pharmacological agents to control features of hyperandrogenism and menstrual disturbances. This chapter discusses the pathogenesis of PCOS and diagnosis of PCOS in adolescents and the difficulties in diagnosis. In brief the associated co-morbidities and management are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetes knowledge has a large impact on glycemic control. There is a pressing need for creation of validated tests of knowledge for different ethnic groups. OBJECTIVE To create and validate a diabetes knowledge test (DKT) for young Indians with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS We created a 34 item Hindi language DKT, with basic (19-questions) and advanced (15-questions) components. It was administered to 77 consecutive patients who had previously received in-hospital diabetes education. We hypothesized that the test scores would be higher for patients residing in urban regions, for patients with higher maternal education, and those with lower HbA1c. Cronbach's alpha (α) was used to calculate the test reliability. RESULTS The DKT score was significantly higher in families with higher (>class 12th) maternal formal education compared with lower [70.0 (95% C.I. 67.2-73.5) vs 54.2 (95% C.I. 44.0-57.3), p<0.001] and urban residence compared with rural [68.5 (95% C.I. 63.4-70.6) vs 54.5 (95% C.I. 42.5-61.7), p<0.001]. It had negative correlation with HbA1c (r=-0.268, p=0.019). The Cronbach's α was 0.87 for the entire test, and for the basic and advanced components was 0.78 and 0.74 respectively. CONCLUSION The DKT India is a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate diabetes knowledge in Hindi speaking Indian children, adolescents and young adults with T1DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Detailed studies of Addison's disease resulting from disseminated adrenal histoplasmosis (AH) are not available. We describe the presentation and prognosis of AH and cortisol status before and after antifungal therapy. DESIGN Single-centre retrospective hospital-based study of 40 consecutive adults with AH [39 males; age (mean ± SD) 53 ± 11 years] was conducted between 2006 and 2018. The median duration of follow-up was 2.5 years (range 0.2-12 years). PATIENTS AND METHODS AH was diagnosed by bilateral adrenal enlargement on CT scan and presence of Histoplasma by histology and/or culture of biopsied adrenal tissue. All patients received oral itraconazole and, if required, amphotericin B as per guidelines. ACTH-stimulated serum cortisol (normal > 500 nmol/L) was measured in 38 patients at diagnosis and re-tested after one year of antifungal therapy in 21 patients. RESULTS Seventy-three per cent of patients had primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) and one-third had an adrenal crisis at presentation. HIV antibody was negative in all patients. Of the 29 patients who completed antifungal therapy, 25 (86%) were in remission at last follow-up. Overall, 8 (20%) patients died: three had a sudden death, four had severe histoplasmosis and one died due to adrenal crisis. No patient with PAI became eucortisolemic on re-testing after one year of antifungal therapy. Of the eight patients with normal cortisol at diagnosis, two developed adrenal insufficiency on follow-up. CONCLUSION All patients with AH tested negative for HIV antibody. While patients achieved a high rate of clinical remission after antifungal therapy, overall mortality was significant. Cortisol insufficiency did not normalize despite treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study glycemic control, mortality and long-term complications in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D). DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Referral centre at a government teaching hospital. PARTICIPANTS Patients with T1D with age £18 years at onset. METHODS We retrospectively collected demographic data from computer records from 1991 to 2015. Prospective study for outcomes was conducted between 2012 and 2016. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mortality rate, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and microvascular complication rate. RESULTS The proportion of T1D patients (n=512) <5 years of age at onset was 18.6% between 1995 and 2004, and 24.2% in 2005-2014 (P<0.001). Twenty eight patients had died out of 334 whose living status was known (mortality 1.1 per 100 patient-years over 2549 patient-years follow up). Median (range) HbA1c (n=257) was 8.3% (5.1-15.0%). At least one episode of severe hypoglycemia (coma/seizure/inability to assist self) had occurred in 22.8% patients over two years. Hypertension was present in 11.7% patients. Microvascular complications screen in 164 eligible patients [median (range) age 20 (8-45) y and duration of diabetes 9.1 (5-30) y] showed diabetic nephropathy in 3.0%, proliferative retinopathy in 3.6% and LDL cholesterol >100 mg/dL in 34% patients. CONCLUSIONS The mortality rate and prevalence of hypertension were high, given the short duration of diabetes of the patients. The proportion of patients with age ≤5 years at onset of diabetes has increased at our center.

Abstract
This paper represents an international collaboration of paediatric endocrine and other societies (listed in the Appendix) under the International Consortium of Paediatric Endocrinology (ICPE) aiming to improve worldwide care of adolescent girls with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)1. The manuscript examines pathophysiology and guidelines for the diagnosis and management of PCOS during adolescence. The complex pathophysiology of PCOS involves the interaction of genetic and epigenetic changes, primary ovarian abnormalities, neuroendocrine alterations, and endocrine and metabolic modifiers such as anti-Müllerian hormone, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, adiposity, and adiponectin levels. Appropriate diagnosis of adolescent PCOS should include adequate and careful evaluation of symptoms, such as hirsutism, severe acne, and menstrual irregularities 2 years beyond menarche, and elevated androgen levels. Polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasound without hyperandrogenism or menstrual irregularities should not be used to diagnose adolescent PCOS. Hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and obesity may be present in adolescents with PCOS, but are not considered to be diagnostic criteria. Treatment of adolescent PCOS should include lifestyle intervention, local therapies, and medications. Insulin sensitizers like metformin and oral contraceptive pills provide short-term benefits on PCOS symptoms. There are limited data on anti-androgens and combined therapies showing additive/synergistic actions for adolescents. Reproductive aspects and transition should be taken into account when managing adolescents.

Abstract
Obesity is a major factor in development of insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic features in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients. Nearly two-thirds patients with PCOS (30 of 37 confirmed cases of PCOS) in our previous community based study were lean, in contrast to Caucasians. Metabolic parameters including IR and β cell function have not been characterized well in this group of lean PCOS. To study the metabolic features including IR and β cell function in lean PCOS patients, 53 patients with BMI, <23 kg/m2 were compared with 71 obese PCOS and 45 age and body mass index matched controls. Lean patients had similar β cell function and IR as compared to controls and obese patients, though the latter group had more metabolic abnormality. Fasting c-peptide and its ratio to glucose were significantly higher in lean patients compared to controls. In subset of subjects with five point OGTT, disposition index and Matsuda index (MI) showed significant negative correlation with BMI and blood pressure. MI also negatively correlated with waist, WHR, and HOMAB. High fasting C-peptide is probably a class effect as is seen in both lean and obese PCOS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of 68Ga-DOTANOC positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scan in localization of culprit lesion for biopsy and required intervention [surgical excision/radiofrequency ablation (RFA)] in patients with long-standing oncogenic osteomalacia (OOM)/tumour-induced osteomalacia. METHODS 17 patients (8 males and 9 females) underwent 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT scan. The patients referred with clinical and biochemical evidence of hypophosphatemia and raised fibroblast growth factor-23. Qualitative and semi-quantitative parameters were used to identify culprit lesions. RESULTS 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT scan revealed 52 lesions in 17 patients, and 37/52 of these lesions were tracer avid. 26/37 lesions were non-specific focal tracer-avid skeletal lesions (fractures or degenerative changes). 11/37 tracer-avid skeletal lesions present in 9 patients (3 lesions in 1 patient and 1 each in rest of the 8 patients) were highly suspicious for culprit lesions in view of high maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) (range 1.5-15.4; mean 7.0 ± 4.6), lesion size (0.9-5.0 cm; mean 3.3 ± 1.5) and associated soft-tissue component. During subsequent imaging with CT/MRI, 7/9 patients showed concordant lesions which were excised or biopsied and histopathologically verified as phosphaturic mesenchymal tumours. Surgical excision was resorted to in most of the detected lesions, and RFA was performed in one patient. CONCLUSION There is some overlap in SUVmax between fracture-/bone-associated lesions and culprit lesions with a tendency of most non-culprit lesions to have lower SUVmax and no associated soft-tissue component. In such scenario, intensely tracer-avid, larger non-fracture lesions with soft-tissue component may lead to identification of culprit lesion among multiple lesions. Following detection of culprit lesion, surgical removal is the best treatment. RFA is alternative to surgery in cases where surgery is not possible owing to osteopenia/poor bone health. Advances in knowledge: The main challenge in patients of long-standing OOM is the presence of multiple skeletal lesions (both tumour- or tracer-avid fractures), and it is confusing to identify culprit lesion. This was noted in our study with 68Ga-DOTANOC and has not been mentioned in studies performed with 68Ga-DOTATATE/TOC PET/CT. In such scenario, 68Ga-DOTANOC PET/CT needs to be reviewed and read thoroughly to localize the culprit lesion out of the multiple tracer-avid lesions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients are at an increased risk of having celiac disease (CD). We evaluated the prevalence and clinical profile of CD in children and adolescents with T1D and reviewed the Indian literature to determine prevalence and reasons for variability. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, subjects with T1D were prospectively evaluated with a demographic and gastrointestinal (GI) questionnaire, human IgA-tissue transglutaminase (IgA-tTGA), and endoscopic duodenal biopsy in serology positive patients. Studies evaluating prevalence of CD in T1D from India were reviewed. RESULTS Fourteen (13.6 %) of the 103 (52 boys, 13 years [2-20]) T1D patients were IgA-tTGA (182 U [47-300]) positive and 3.8 % (4/103) had villous atrophy on histology. Subjects with T1D and CD (n = 4) were younger at onset of T1D (32.5 ± 12.6 vs. 110.5 ± 53.8 months; p < 0.005) and more often had GI symptoms (pain abdomen [2/4 vs. 6/89; p = 0.01], stool frequency of 2-3/day [3/4 vs. 38/89; p = 0.004]) than screen negative T1D (n = 89). Growth and glycemic control were not different between the groups. In the 7 Indian studies involving 915 children and adults, 13.8 % (8 % to 17.8 %) T1D were serology positive. Prevalence of CD was reported as 6.9 % (2.3 % to 11.1 %), but only 3.1 % (2.3 % to 4.2 %) had villous atrophy on histology. CONCLUSIONS Potential CD and CD were present in 13.6 % and 3.8 % children with T1D respectively. T1D with CD have onset of diabetes at younger age and were more often symptomatic than screen negative T1D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little information regarding costs of managing type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) from low- and middle-income countries. We estimated direct costs of T1DM in patients attending a referral diabetes clinic in a governmentfunded hospital in northern India. METHODS We prospectively enrolled 88 consecutive T1DM patients (mean [SD] age 15.3 [8] years) with age at onset <18 years presenting to the endocrine clinic of our institution. Data on direct costs were collected for a 12 months-6 months retrospectively followed by 6 months prospectively. RESULTS Patients belonged predominantly (77%) to the middle socioeconomic strata (SES); 81% had no access to government subsidy or health insurance. The mean direct cost per patient-year of T1DM was `27 915 (inter-quartile range [IQR] `19 852-32 856), which was 18.6% (7.1%-30.1%) of the total family income. A greater proportion of income was spent by families of lower compared to middle SES (32.6% v. 6.6%, p<0.001). The mean out-of-pocket payment for diabetes care ranged from 2% to 100% (mean 87%) of the total costs. The largest expenditure was on home blood glucose monitoring (40%) and insulin (39.5%). On multivariate analysis, total direct cost was associated with annual family income (β=0.223, p=0.033), frequency of home blood glucose monitoring (β=0.249, p=0.016) and use of analogue insulin (β=0.225, p=0.016). CONCLUSIONS Direct costs of T1DM were high; in proportion to their income the costs were greater in the lower SES. The largest expenditure was on home blood glucose monitoring and insulin. Support for insulin and glucose testing strips for T1DM care is urgently required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess feasibility and recall rates for newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism, galactosemia and biotinidase deficiency in a predominantly rural and inner city population in and around the City of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, India. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Two tertiary-care and 5 district hospitals in and around Lucknow. PARTICIPANTS All babies born in above hospitals during the study period. METHODS Heel prick samples were collected after 24 hours of life. Dried blood spot TSH, total galactose and biotinidase were assayed by immunofluorometry. Age related cut-offs were applied for recall for TSH. For galactosemia and biotinidase deficiency, manufacturer-suggested recall cut-offs used initially were modified after analysis of initial data. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Recall rate for hypothyroidism, galactosemia and biotinidase deficiency. RESULTS Screening was carried out for 13426 newborns, 73% of all deliveries. Eighty-five percent of those recalled for confirmatory sampling responded. Using fixed TSH cut off of 20 mIU/L yielded high recall rate of 1.39%, which decreased to 0.84% with use of age-related cut-offs. Mean TSH was higher in males, and in low birth weight and vaginally delivered babies. Eleven babies had congenital hypothyroidism. Recall rates with modified cut-offs for galactosemia and biotinidase deficiency were 0.32% and 0.16%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS An outreach program for newborn screening can be successfully carried out in similar socio-cultural settings in India. For hypothyroidism, the high recall rate due to early discharge was addressed by age-related cut-offs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adolescence are controversial, primarily because the diagnostic pathological features used in adult women may be normal pubertal physiological events. Hence, international pediatric and adolescent specialty societies have defined criteria that have sufficient evidence to be used for the diagnosis of PCOS in adolescents. METHODS The literature has been reviewed and evidence graded to address a series of questions regarding the diagnosis of PCOS during adolescence including the following: clinical and biochemical evidence of hyperandrogenism, criteria for oligo-anovulation and polycystic ovary morphology, diagnostic criteria to exclude other causes of hyperandrogenism and amenorrhea, role of insulin resistance, and intervention. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION Features of PCOS overlap normal pubertal development. Hence, caution should be taken before diagnosing PCOS without longitudinal evaluation. However, treatment may be indicated even in the absence of a definitive diagnosis. While obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperinsulinemia are common findings in adolescents with hyperandrogenism, these features should not be used to diagnose PCOS among adolescent girls. © 2015 S.

Abstract
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a condition of decreased bone density with heterogeneous etiologies. Most of the cases are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and are caused by mutations in the COL1A1 or COL1A2 genes. Since these two genes are very large, there are no data about mutations in Indian patients with OI. We selected 35 Indian patients who were clinically diagnosed with OI and all exons of both the genes were sequenced. Mutations in COL1A1 (14 cases, 6 novel) and COL1A2 (11 cases, 7 novel) were identified in 25 patients. A total of 55 polymorphisms were identified in both the genes with eight novel variants in the coding region, and nine novel variants in the non-coding regions. No mutation was detected in 10 patients. Six of them were from consanguineous families, with one or two similarly affected siblings suggesting possible autosomal recessive inheritance. If we exclude families with consanguinity, mutations were identified in 25 out of 29 families giving 86% mutation detection rate. Mutations in COL1A1 accounted for 56% of the cases and COL1A2 44%, which is similar to the reported rate worldwide.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is associated with significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) like insulin resistance, hyperinsulinism, hypertension and dyslipidemia. We studied CVD risk in young women (18-35 years age) with PCOS using carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) which are markers of subclinical atherosclerosis. Fifty women with PCOS (age: 24.3 ± 4 years; body mass index [BMI]: 24.6 ± 4 kg/m(2)) were compared with 50 age and BMI matched healthy controls (age: 24.6 ± 5 years; BMI: 23.9 ± 4 kg/m(2)). CIMT was significantly higher (0.55 ± 0.09 mm versus 0.40 ± 0.1 mm, p value <0.0001) and FMD was significantly lower (9.39 ± 4.36% versus 13.89 ± 4.77%, p value <0.0001) in cases as compared to controls. These differences in CIMT and FMD remained significant when subgroup were analyzed, obese PCOS versus obese controls and non obese PCOS versus non-obese controls. In stepwise linear regression PCOS was associated with CIMT and FMD independent of age, BMI and blood pressure. Young women with PCOS irrespective of their BMI have evidence for increased CVD risk as shown by increased CIMT and a lower FMD.

Abstract
The differential diagnosis for precocious puberty in a young female includes peripheral causes. This case report documents a rare cause of isosexual precocious puberty, a juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovary-and a brief literature review. A 7-year-old girl presented with rapid onset of pubertal development and elevated estradiol levels. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a mass in the right adnexa. Other causes of precocious puberty were excluded. Elective surgery was planned, but the patient presented to the emergency room with torsion of ovary. She underwent an exploratory laparotomy for tumor resection and right salpingo oophorectomy. Pathology reported a juvenile granulosa cell tumor of the ovary. Postoperatively, she experienced a cessation of vaginal bleeding and estradiol levels normalized. Early stage disease has good prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not indicated in this setting.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ambiguous genitalia are a major cause of parental anxiety and create psychological and social problems to patient, if not managed properly. Here we present our experience in managing patients with ambiguous genitalia. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical records of all patients with ambiguous genitalia managed surgically at out institute between December 1989 and January 2011. Relevant history, clinical examination, investigations and surgical procedures performed were analyzed and results were evaluated in terms of anatomical, functional and psychosexual outcomes. RESULTS Female pseudohermaphroditism was the most common cause of genital ambiguity in our patients. Male and female genitoplasty was done according to gender of rearing, genital anatomy and parental choice. Twenty six patients (86.6%) reported satisfactory cosmetic outcome and 22 (73.3%) satisfactory functional outcome on long term follow-up. Among the 24 patients diagnosed as male pseudohermaphroditism 14 (82.3%) patient have reported satisfactory cosmetic outcome and 13 (76.4%) have reported satisfactory functional outcome. In patients with mixed gonadal dysgenesis and true hermaphroditism satisfactory cosmetic and functional outcome was seen in 70% patient. CONCLUSION Managing patients of genital ambiguity according to gender of rearing, genital anatomy and parental choice carries good prognosis in terms of anatomical, functional and psychosexual outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women of reproductive age. Due to the logistics of diagnosis and lack of consensus on the diagnostic criteria, there are very few prevalence studies in the community. This study was aimed to assess the prevalence of PCOS in women 18-25 years of age, conducted in college girls from Lucknow, North India. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sample size for the study was calculated as 1052. Girls from 3 different colleges were approached (n = 2150), 1520 (70.7%) agreed to participate. They were asked to fill up a questionnaire asking details of menstrual cycle and features of hyperandrogenism. Hirsutism was self-reported. Responses were verified by a trained research assistant. A probable case was defined as a girl with menstrual irregularity (MI) or hirsutism (H) or both. All the probable cases were invited for detailed examination, hormone estimation, and ovarian ultrasonography. RESULTS Of the 1520 girls, 200 (13.1%) were labeled as probable cases; 175 (87.5%) had MI and 25 (12.5%) had both MI and H. Of the 200 cases, 75 (37.5%) had hormonal evaluation while 11 agreed for ultrasonography. 27 girls had confirmed PCOS. Therefore, if all the 200 girls would have had hormonal evaluation, 56 girls were likely to be confirmed as PCOS, giving a calculated prevalence of 3.7% (95% CI, 2.6-4.4) in this population. The mean age of these PCOS cases was 18.96 ± 1.73 yrs, body mass index was 21.72 ± 5.48 Kg/m(2), and waist hip ratio was 0.81 ± 0.08. Only 12% girls had a body mass index ≥ 27.5 Kg/m(2), but 44% had waist hip ratio > 0.81, again highlighting that despite low BMI, Indians have more abdominal obesity. CONCLUSION Calculated prevalence of PCOS in women between the ages of 18-25 years from Lucknow, north India, is 3.7%. Majority of these girls were lean but have abdominal obesity.

Abstract
Kocher-Debre-Semelaigne (KDS) syndrome is a rare form of hypothyroid myopathy, with associated hypertrophy of muscles. Although cardiac manifestations of hypothyroidism are well known, reports of cardiac involvement in KDS have only described the occurrence of pericardial effusion as an association. This report describes an adolescent male presenting with typical features of this rare syndrome along with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D), an association not yet described in the literature.
