Kim Yoo-Mi , Lee Hoon Sang , Kim Gu-Hwan , Yoo Han-Wook , Kim Su young , Cheon Chong Kun

Background: Turner syndrome, a condition that affects only girls and women, result when the X chromosome is missing or partially missing. Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, the most common inherited urea cycle disorder, is transmitted as a partially dominant X-linked trait. The OTC gene maps to Xp21.1 and spans approximately 73 kb, containing 10 exons and 9 introns. OTC deficiency is diagnosed using a combination of clinical findings and biochemical testing, while co...

Changes to Thyroid Function (TF) Following Treatment with Growth Hormone (GH) Therapy in Children with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)

Musthaffa Yassmin , Scheermeyer Elly , Hughes Ian , Harris Mark , Crock Patricia , Leong Gary

Background: Normal TF is necessary for optimal growth. Changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis following GH therapy are reported. GH therapy has been suggested to centrally inhibit TSH production as well as peripherally increasing T4 to T3 conversion which increases negative feedback on TSH production. Hypothalamic dysfunction is a feature of PWS, therefore these patients may be at risk of developing central hypothyroidism associated with GH therapy.<p cla...
