New Perspectives 2 - New Treatment Modalities for the Preservation of Fertility
Moderator(s): -

Session Aim: This new perspective series will provide current information on advances in infertility treatments. Although this area is not in the core of paediatric endocrinology, it is essential to paediatric endocrinologists to convey current information to their patients and families.

Symposium 7 - "Bridging Clinical Care and Basic Research" - Beta Cell
Moderator(s): -

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.

Symposium 8 - Epigenetics in Paediatric Endocrinology
Moderator(s): -

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 resent NICHE symposium that was recently supported by ESPE.

Introduction to epigenetics – implications in paediatric endocrinology

Symposium 9 - New Developments in the Regulation of Puberty
Moderator(s): -

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.
