Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine whether the distribution of SHBG (TAAAA)n repeat variants contributes to the exposure of the female fetus to androgen excess, by influencing the, in utero, androgen availability.Methods: The study population consisted of 100 pregnant women that carried female fetuses and underwent the procedure of amniocentesis due to age (older than 35). Blood samples and amniotic fluid samples were dr...

Objective: To document influences of sampling of blood under supine fasting versus seated non-fasting conditions on diagnosis of pheochromocytoma using plasma concentrations of normetanephrine, metanephrine and methoxytyramine (P-NMN/MN/MTY).Design and methods: P-NMN/MN/MTY were measured by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry in 695 patients at five centers, two of which complied with requirements for supine sampling after an overnight fa...

Objective: Patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI) have been found to have increased cardiovascular morbidity, partly associated with nonphysiologic glucocorticoid replacement.Design: We included two separate cohorts (cohort 1 and 2) of patients with chronic primary and secondary AI under standard replacement therapy and compared them to two age- and sex-matched population-based studies (SHIP-TREND/DEGS). Patient cohort 1 comprised 389 individuals asses...

Background: It is well established that life-long follow-up is required for patients with hereditary pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs), due to the potential of developing recurrent disease. However, whether follow-up of patients with sporadic PPGLs is necessary, remains unclear.Aims: To examine the prevalence and predictors of recurrent disease in patients with sporadic PPGLs.Materials and method: This multicenter study included retrospective ...

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) exhibit an up to 20% malignancy rate. Various clinical, genetic, and pathological features have been proposed as predictors of malignancy. However, until present there are no robust indices to reliably predict metastatic PPGLs.Aim: The aim of the present study was to prospectively validate the value of methoxytyramine as risk marker of metastatic disease and establish a machine learning (ML) mode...
