Etiology and Severity of Congenital Hypothyroid Children Detected through Neonatal Screening: A Cut-off based Analysis

Vieites Ana , Enacan Rosa , Gotta Gabriela , Junco Marcelo , Ropelato Gabriela , Chiesa Ana

Background: TSH cut-off (CO) levels has been lowered progressively in many screening programs. Nevertheless, population detected with lower CO levels differs in severity and etiology.Objective and hypotheses: To describe the etiological characteristics and severity of children detected by neonatal screening related to CO TSH levels.Method: We analysed the data of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) neonatal screening performed between J...

TSH Receptor Gene Variants in Pediatric Patients with Non Autoimmune Hyperthyrotropinemia

Scaglia Paula , Keselman Ana , Papendieck Laura Gruneiro , Papendieck Patricia , Bergada Ignacio , Domene Horacio , Chiesa Ana

Context: Heterozygous mutations in TSH recepter (TSHR) have been described associated with mild TSH resistance characterized by non autoimmune hyperthyrotropinemia (NAH). The prevalence of this condition varies in different reports.Objective: To determine the prevalence of TSHR variants in pediatric NAH.Subjects and methods: Thirty-five non obese unrelated children with NAH (18 girls, aged 1–19 years) were enrolled.

46, XX Ovotesticular DSD in the Absence of SRY Gene Associated to SOX3 Duplication

Grinspon Romina P , Nevado Julian , Alvarez Maria de los Angeles Mori , Rey Rodolfo A , del Rey Graciela , Chiesa Ana

Background: Ovotesticular DSD is a rare disorder defined by the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissues in the same individual. SRY is present in approximately 1/3 of patients with 46, XX ovotesticular DSD. In SRY-negative ovotesticular DSD, the mechanism responsible for the presence of testicular tissue is not yet understood.Case presentation: A male patient was referred to us for hypospadias and bilateral cryptorchidism at 2.5...

Neonatal Screening Program for Central Congenital Hypothyroidism

Braslavsky Debora , Prieto Laura , Keselman Ana , de Papendieck Laura Gruneiro , Enacan Rosa , Mendez Virginia , Bergada Ignacio , Chiesa Ana

Background: Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) comprises a heterogeneous group of disorders that includes diseases of the hypothalamo-hypophyseal system. The latter are missed on TSH based screening programs leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Additional T4 determinations, allows an early detection of CH of central origin (CH-C).Objective and hypotheses: To report the findings of a neonatal screening program based on determination of TSH...

Presentation and outcome of ATA-Pediatric low-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PLR-DTC) with high-invasive molecular alterations

Papendieck Patricia , Eugenia Masnat Maria , Boycho Marisa , Colli Sandra , Victoria Preciado Maria , Lorenzetti Mario , Arcari Andrea , Chiesa Ana

PLR-DTC patients defined as having a tumor grossly confined to the thyroid with minimal or no central lymph nodes comprises 40% of all pediatric DTC followed-up in our center. High-invasive molecular alterations (HIMA) have been reported recently in around 57% of these patients with a still not clear explanation on their influence in outcome.Objective: To report the characterization of a small group of PLR-DTC patients who were positive ...
