Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This is the second edition of the Special Issue ‘Endocrine Disorders in Children’ (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jcm/special_issues/8N37TZ4498).

This Special Issue aims to explore problems related to growth, pubertal development, the thyroid, the parathyroid, metabolic disorders such as diabetes or hypoglycemia, adrenal glands, sexual development, nutrition, obesity, dysmorphic syndromes, malformations, and other problems related to genetic hormones.

The different pediatric “ages”, such as prenatal, neonatal, childhood, prepuberty, and adolescence, present different hormonal configurations and constitute a difficulty for the diagnosis and management of many endocrinological disorders; therefore, obtaining data and developing publications on these populations are of the utmost importance and interest.

These disorders are precursors of many adult diseases with a strong genetic and epigenetic basis. The important methodological development in the study of diseases of genetic origin will improve the diagnosis and treatment of some entities, of unknown origin today, and this will occur more often in the pediatric population in many areas of endocrinology at this age, especially with prenatal diagnosis.

Dr. Juan Pedro López-Siguero
Guest Editor
