Gonadic Function and Pubertal Development in Female Patients With Classic Galactosemia
NCT07461519 · tracked via the Priya Life Science Italy tracker
Condition(s) studied
Galactosemia
Study summary
Newborn screening and a galactose-free diet have improved early outcomes in galactosemia, but long-term issues such as primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) remain significant. This study aims to clarify clinical, hormonal, developmental, and fertility-related factors in affected girls through a large multicenter Italian cohort.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
* Female patients followed at participating Pediatric Endocrinology and Inherited Metabolic Disease Centers, born between January 1st, 1980 and December 31st, 2024, with a diagnosis of classic galactosemia and confirmed by genetic testing.
* Obtaining informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with known chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., trisomy 21, Turner syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Kabuki syndrome, or other genetic conditions associated with pubertal disorders);
* Patients with primary ovarian insufficiency due to causes other than galactosemia.
Primary outcome measure(s)
- To compare clinical and auxological features, as well as hormonal levels, of patients with a diagnosis of classic galactosemia with those of the general population at key stages of pubertal development — During minipuberty (3-18 months), childhood (18 months-10 years), puberty (from 10 years to menarche onset), and adulthood (before Menopause).
Mean laboratoristic parametres (FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH, inhibin-B) - To identify and describe potential factors contributing to the development of primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) in female patients with classic galactosemia — At puberty (from 10 years to menarche onset), and at adulthood (before Menopause)
Presence of POI (yes/no)
