Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, significant progress has been made in management strategies for pediatric endocrine disorders.
A key aspect of these advances is the improvement in diagnostic techniques, which has enabled easier access to advanced investigations, such as genetic analysis. These tools have not only deepened our understanding of many endocrine diseases but have also improved our capacity for early diagnosis and personalized therapies.
The enhanced knowledge of childhood growth disorders and obesity (both in early prevention and treatment) has transformed the clinical management of affected patients.
This Special Issue aims to address the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that characterize these disorders. We invite original research articles, systematic or narrative reviews, and clinically relevant case reports with literature reviews focusing on early identification and prevention strategies, novel biomarkers, and advances in genetic and hormonal profiling. Special consideration will be given to works exploring the most pressing clinical challenges and proposing innovative solutions in pediatric endocrinology.
