Abstract

Clinical endocrinology incorporates the diagnosis and management of disorders associated with hormone synthesis and/or function. Recent advances in the ever so expanding field of molecular biology have provided clinicians with a novel insight into molecular mechanism leading to endocrine dysfunction. This chapter on clinical molecular endocrinology brings together commonly encountered scenarios from clinical practice in endocrinology with emphasis on molecular mechanisms that underpin the clinical presentation. The clinical cases that have been discussed in detail cover relevant molecular and genetic pathways leading to pituitary, parathyroid, adrenal, and gonadal dysfunction.
