More research needed into Hypothalamic Syndrome in patients

Description

There are children who always feel hungry and who are very overweight because their sense of satiety is 'broken'. These children also have hormonal problems, can have a disturbed day-night rhythm and sometimes temperature dysregulation, which makes them uncomfortable. The Hypothalamic Syndrome has enormous consequences for growing children and their families. This rare condition is often discovered late and there is no cure yet. About the Hypothalamic Syndrome, UMC Utrecht pediatric endocrinologist Hanneke van Santen and other international experts wrote an article that recently appeared in the renowned scientific journal Nature reviews | Disease Primers.
