Symposium 7 - "Bridging Clinical Care and Basic Research" - Beta Cell
Moderator(s): To be announced
Štepánka Pruhová, Prague, Czech Republic
Session Aim:
This symposium is part of a series of symposia "Bridging Clinical Care and Basic Science". The aim of the series is to emphasize the impact of patient observation on the understanding of basic biological mechanisms. Each presentation starts with a seminal case presentation, that has led to such development. This symposium is to discuss the genetic and molecular pathways involved in monogenic forms of beta-cell dysfunction.
Beta cell potassium channel mutations and diabetes

Symposium 8 - Epigenetics in Paediatric Endocrinology
Moderator(s): Kerstin Albertsson-Wikland, Gothenburg, Sweden
Yves Le Bouc, Paris, France
Session Aim:
The aim of the symposium is to introduce to the paediatric endocrine community the principles of epigenetics and the role of epigenetics in development and endocrine disorders. The symposium will reflect from the recent NICHE symposium that was recently supported by ESPE.
Introduction to epigenetics – implications in paediatric endocrinology
Miguel Constância, Cambridge, United Kingdom

Session Aim:
The aim of this symposium is to review recent advances in the field.
The first two talks are focusing on new clinically relevant discoveries on the genetic control of the timing of puberty. These genes are operative in the hypothalamic-pituitary unit. The last talk will focus on secular trends in the population and their possible environmental causes.
