Purpose: Advances in treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia increased the likelihood of developing late treatment-associated effects, such as abdominal adiposity, which plays a key role because it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease in this population. Cranial radiotherapy is one of the factors that might be involved in this process. The aim of this study was to determine the ef…
The deficiency of 21-hydroxylase (D21OH) is the most common form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), responsible for more than 90% of cases with its classical form. With the improvement of diagnosis and the introduction of replacement therapy with corticosteroids, there was significant increment in patient survival. However, studies on the long-term effects of this treatment, mainly …
Risperidone is a drug commonly used in children and adolescents, but it presents some adverse effects such as gain of weight, metabolic syndrome, hormonal changes. Several genetic polymorphisms presenting potential susceptibility to the adverse effects of risperidone have being studied.

Conditions that present atypical genital and / or gonadal development leading to a disagreement among genetic, gonadal and phenotypic sex are classified as Disorders of Sex Development (DSD). Several genes are known to act in the pathways of sex determination and differentiation, such as: WT1, SRY, NR5A1, DMRT1, SOX9, GATA4, NR0B1, HAM, AR, SRD5A2, HSD17B3, among others. Recently, three i…

Growth disorders and obesity in youth are public health problem. Youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) have higher prevalence of obesity and growth disorders than the general population of youth without ID. In Brazil, there are no population-based research about growth and body composition in youth with ID. The primary objective of this study is to examine the patterns and determinant…
