Open AccessNovel germline variants of CDKN1B and CDKN2C identified during screening for familial primary hyperparathyroidism
CDKN1B mutations were established as a cause of multiple endocrine neoplasia 4 (MEN4) syndrome in patients with MEN1 phenotype without a mutation in the MEN1 gene. In addition, variants in other cyclin-dependent ...

Open AccessGlucagon stimulation test to assess growth hormone status in Prader–Willi syndrome
Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) must be confirmed before starting treatment in adults with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). Most studies use the growth-hormone-releasing hormone plus arginine (GHRH-arginine) test....
