TL;DR: The main novelties deriving from the Italian experience lie in the definition, screening of the cardiometabolic and hepatic risk factors and the endorsement of a staged approach to treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bisphenol A is associated with insulin resistance and modulates adiponectin and resistin gene expression in obese children
Ciro Menale,Anna Grandone,Carla Nicolucci,Carla Nicolucci,Grazia Cirillo,Stefania Crispi,Anna Di Sessa,Pierluigi Marzuillo,Sergio Rossi,Damiano Gustavo Mita,Laura Perrone,Nadia Diano,Emanuele Miraglia del Giudice +12 more
TL;DR: Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure has been associated with increased incidence of diabetes and obesity in adults and should be considered a major concern for the health of children.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Membrane-bound O-Acyltransferase7 rs641738 Variant in Pediatric Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
Anna Di Sessa,Giuseppina Rosaria Umano,Grazia Cirillo,Angela Del Prete,Roberta Iacomino,Pierluigi Marzuillo,Emanuele Miraglia del Giudice +6 more
TL;DR: This work first demonstrated in childhood obesity the role of the MBOAT7 rs641738 variant on serum ALT and the combined effect ofThe MBOat7, PNPLA3, and TM6SF2 variants on NAFLD risk and provided the first pediatric association of this polymorphism with indirect markers of liver fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and eGFR levels could be linked by the PNPLA3 I148M polymorphism in children with obesity.

TL;DR: PNPLA3 I148M polymorphism has an effect on modulation of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in nonobese nondiabetic adults and in children with histologically confirmed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Association Between a Nonsynonymous Variant (R270H) of the G-Protein–Coupled Receptor 120 and Liver Injury in Children and Adolescents With Obesity
Pierluigi Marzuillo,Anna Grandone,Mariasole Conte,Francesco Capuano,Grazia Cirillo,Anna Di Sessa,Giuseppina Rosaria Umano,Roberta Romano,Laura Perrone,Emanuele Miraglia del Giudice +9 more
TL;DR: Stratifying the patients with the GPR120 270H variant on the basis of their PNPLA3 polymorphism, a significant interaction effect on ALT levels is demonstrated, suggesting a driving effect of the PN PLA3 148M allele on liver injury in children with obesity carrying this variant.
