Introduction: Although the majority of the cases with obesity have a multifactorial etiology, rare monogenic forms of obesity exist. Several genetic disorders have been described that lead to early onset monogenic obesity. Leptin (LEP), leptin receptor (LEPR), melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R), proprotein converting protein subtilisin / kexin-type 1 (PCSK1) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) are the genetic mutations that have been most frequently shown to cause mono...

Aim: To describe the clinical pattern and laboratory characteristics at presentation of a group of children with type 1 diabetes mellitus living in the Northwest region (Trakya) of Turkey.Methods: The clinical and laboratory data of a total of 315 children who presented with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus during a 12 year period (2006–2018) were retrospectively analyzed based on hospital records. The data were assessed by gender and age su...

Backround: Short stature (SS) is one of the common disorders referred for investigation of an endocrine disorder. The etiologies of SS vary and are commonly grouped into pathological and nonpathological disorders. Despite standard clinical and laboratory evaluation, a pathological diagnosis is not reached in 50–90% cases.Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the etiologies and decribe the characteristic of short stature patients who were follo...

Introduction: Ovarian torsion (OT) occurs with partial or complete obstruction of blood flow as a result of rotation of the ovary around the infundibulopelvic ligament and/or utero-ovarian ligament. OT is very rare in the pediatric population. Although the most common form of presentation is abdominal pain, the unclear symptom profile in children can often result in missed diagnosis or late diagnosis. For the preservation of ovarian functions and future fertil...

Objective: Monosomy 18q and 10p duplications rare chromosomal disorders that are caused by deletion of a part of the long arm (q) of chromosome 18 and duplication of genetic material on the short arm (P) of chromosome 10 respectively. In both disorders the phenotype is highly variable and; includes short stature, developmental delay, hypotonia, and facial dysmorphic features. Also, genital abnormalities could occur in both disorders. Genital abnormalities (cry...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hypoplasia, a rare cause of childhood primer adrenal insufficiency, is caused by defects in transcription factors involved in the development of adrenal gland. One of them is the NROB1 (DAX1) gene, localized in Xp21.2. DAX1 mutations have been identified that cause X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita. Infants affected with X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita may present with salt-wasting, micropenis or cry...

Introduction: Isodicentric-Ychromosome;has phenotypic findings such as gonadal dysgenesis, short stature, Turner syndrome in girls, infertility in boys, and insufficient virilization. Here, a case with growth retardation, short statureand infertility findings, and isodicentric-Ychromosomal anomaly(in addition to tuberosclerosis) who underwent endocrine follow-up due to obesity will be presented.Case: The patient, who was...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessively transmitted disease and 95% of CAH cases are due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD). There are more than 100 mutations that cause CAH due to 21-OHD and the clinical expression of the disease is reported to correlate with mutated alleles.The aim: The aim of this study was to investigate responsible mutations and then to evaluate genotype...

Aims: A decrease in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures among obese and overweight (OB/OW) children has been shown in several studies, but very little is known about the variables affecting HRQOL impairments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between HRQOL and sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, metabolic parameters, mental symptoms and parental attitudes in the sample of OB/OWchildren.<p class="a...

Introduction: Mini-puberty is defined as the transient activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis during the first 3-6 months of life. Postnatal HPG activation occurs more robustly and for a longer duration in premature infants compared to term infants. In this report, we present a case of severely premature infant who presented with vaginal bleeding during the mini-puberty period.Case: A 5-month and 12-...
