Background: CFAP126 gene does play a role in the regulation of pancreatic beta cell. Literature suggests that CFAP126 was significantly downregulated in human islet cells of pre-diabetic as compared to non-diabetic and further downregulated in type 2 diabetics. However, to date CFAP126 has not been reported to cause clinical diabetes. We are reporting 2 diabetic siblings, with strong family history of type 2 diabetes on maternal side...

Background: Aromatase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive condition due to mutation in CYP19A1 encoding aromatase enzymes. This enzyme protects fetus and mother from excess of androgens by converting them into estrogen. Lack of its activity results in accumulation of androgens which in turn lead to maternal and fetal virilization. We are reporting a neonate with atypical genitalia with severe maternal virilization due to a novel mutation in C...

Background: Neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) is a rare disorder caused by inactivating calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) mutation characterized by striking hyperparathyroidism leading to severe hypercalcemia. Heterozygous loss of function in CASR gives rise to a benign variant called familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia which needs no treatment. We are reporting 3 cases of NSHPT due to inactivating homozygous CASR mutation n...
