Background: Diagnosis of GH deficiency (GHD) is a complicated issue especially in isolated GH deficiency. Auxological evaluation, IGFI, IGFBP3 levels and GH response to provocative testing are all considered in the diagnosis. However, cut-off values for GH levels at stimulation tests are controversial. We aimed to evaluate the response to rhGH treatment in patients with different GH peak levels in stimulation test.Objective: We aimed to evaluate the resp...

Itroduction: Thiamine responsive anemia (TRMA) known as Rogers syndrome; is an early-onset, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by diabetes mellitus, megaloblastic anemia and sensorineural deafness. Diabetes in this condition is well described in infancy but has only very rarely been reported in association with neonatal diabetes.Case: 3-months old male patient with neonatal diabetes was admitted to our outpatient clinic because of uncontrolled hy...

Context: Deficiency of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (3βHSD2) causes a very rare form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) known as 3βHSD2 deficiency, which is a consequence of biallelic HSD3B2 gene defects. The estimated prevalence is less than 1/1,000,000 live births. Knowledge of comprehensive steroid metabolome patterns in 3βHSD2 deficiency is scarce.Objective: We aimed...
