Introduction: About 25% of children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) have one or more associated autoimmune conditions. Although Graves' disease (GD) rarely occurs, considering the potential severity of manifestations, an early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential. The first line treatment is methimazole, whose use is not free from side effects; therefore, it is important to start with the most appropriate dosage.<p class="abste...

Abbate Marco , Vincenzi Gaia , Maggiore Riccardo , Schiavo Lena Marco , Tarantola Giulia , Teresa Petralia Ilenia , Matilde Tura Adele , Grazia Patricelli Maria , Barera Graziano , Cristina Vigone Maria

DICER1, a gene located on chromosome 14q32.13, encodes a protein ribonuclease (RNase) IIIb that plays a central regulatory role in miRNA processing. DICER1 syndrome has an autosomal dominant inheritance and predisposes affected individuals to a wide variety of tumors, both benign and malignant. We describe the case of a 6-year-old girl, carrier of a DICER1 germline mutation, and affected by a differentiated thyroid carcinoma. At the age of 6 a first thyroid ultrasound revealed...

Anemia-based Screening for Resistance to Thyroid Hormone Alpha in Children

Akın Kağızmanlı Gözde , Kırbıyık Özgür , Abacı Ayhan , Böber Ece , Yiş Uluç , Demir Korcan

Background: Resistance to thyroid hormone alpha (RTH-α) is characterized by varying degrees of symptoms and findings related to hypothyroidism. However, diagnosis is difficult since thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels are normal. Free triiodothyronine (fT3) and free thyroxine (fT4) levels can also be normal, but normo- or macrocytic anemia is generally present in the reported cases. L-thyroxine can alleviate some symptoms; however, there is limited ...

Remission in pediatric hyperthyroidism treated with methimazole

Ricci Jaime , Castro Bethania , Sabino Franco , Fasano Victoria , Tournier Andrea , Balbi Viviana , González Verónica , Morin Analía

Introduction: Hyperthyroidism (HT) is a condition characterized by inappropriately high thyroid hormone (TH) activity at receptor level, due to high synthesis and secretion of TH by thyroid gland. Antithyroid drugs as methimazole (MMI) are used as the first-line therapy in children. However, the optimal treatment duration and the predictive remission factors are still controversial.Objective: To investigate outcome of MM...

Background: Increase in incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is explained by detection of transient CH (TCH), previously commonly underdiagnosed, due to neonatal screening programs. Current guidelines recommend that treatment be started immediately after diagnosis and that hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis be reevaluated after 3 years of age. We aimed to identify the factors associated with TCH, such as the perinatal history or L-thyroxine (LT4)...

Background: Variety of defective thyroid hormone biosynthesis accounts for 15% of congenital hypothyroidism. Children with IYD gene (formerly DEHALI) mutation, which encodes thyroidal enzyme iodotyrosine deiodinase, cannot recycle iodine in thyroid gland. This results in urinary loss of iodine and hypothyroidism. The condition may be missed by neonatal screening programs.Case description: A male baby was born of non-cons...

Introduction: The incidence of autoimmune thyroid diseases (ATD) is constantly rising. Graves’ disease (GD) remains the most common cause of thyrotoxicosis in pediatric population, but the exact pathogenesis of GD is still not fully understood. The immunological basis of ATD assumes an imbalance between effector and regulatory T lymphocytes. B regulatory cells (Breg) are able to suppress the pro-inflammatory properties of effector T cells.

Koprulu Ozge , Tozkır Hilmi

Central hypothyroidism (CeH) is characterized by thyroid hormone deficiency due to impairment of pituitary TSH or hypothalamic TRH biosynthesis. CeH is often seen as a part of multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies, but it can also be seen as isolated. Diagnosis may be challenging. To date, some variants that can cause isolated CeH have been identified; although in a number of patients the cause has not been clarified. Recently, variants of the insulin receptor substrate 4 (<...

The new techniques of molecular genetics are revolutionizing our clinical practice. This causes benefits in the diagnosis and prediction of diseases in patients, but also raises new ethical concerns that must be addressed. One of them is the susceptibility to cancer due to genetic risk. Children can be especially vulnerable in this area, as they do not freely decide the way forward.
