From the Editor’s Desk« Back to Volume 22, Issue 4, December 2006 - Table of Contents Dear Colleague: The latest issue of GGH includes the highlights of 2 important annual meetings in our field. The printed journal contains the highlights of the Endocrine Society’s meeting held in June in Boston. The online journal also contains highlights from the European Society of Pediatric Endocrinology meeting held in July in Rotterdam. The lead article by Dr. William A. Horton, “Molecular Pathogenesis of Achondroplasia,” elucidates the advances that have occurred in the understanding of the mechanisms of growth alterations of these patients. A look at the future with potential therapeutic considerations adds value to the clarification of the pathophysiology of the disease. Additionally, there are 17 reviews of recent papers that were selected by the Editorial Board. Altogether, the journal will stimulate you and enhance your continuous medical education efforts. I am very pleased to note that we continue to expand the content and size of the e-reviews; for example, this issue contains 11 reviews of papers with editorial comments. As well, new clinical practice guidelines continue to be added to the website. In order to provide more reviews, the index of volume 22 (2006) is now only online. Moreover, all issues and subjects are searchable online. Finally, it is the time of year that I take the opportunity to wish you all the best for the holiday season and best wishes for the New Year. Sincerely, « Back to Volume 22, Issue 4, December 2006 - Table of Contents
