Background: Pallister-Hall syndrome (PHS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by a complex of different abnormalities (polydactyly, bifid epiglottis, hypothalamic hamartoma, imperforate anus). Syndrome is cuased by mutations in the GLI3 gene. PHS is associated with hypopituitarism, early or precocious puberty.Objective: to demonstrate a patient with PHS treated with growth hormone (GH) and gonadotropin re...

Objective: Treacher Collins syndrome (TCS) is rare autosomal dominant genetic condition characterized by the following features of the head and face: absence of the ears, down-slanting palpebral fissures, eyelid colobomas, microtia, bilateral choanal atresia and etc. Prevalence of TCS is from 1 per 25,000 to 1 in 50,000 live births. Most of TCS patients don’t have endocrine disorders that is why endocrinologists are not familiar with this condit...

Background: Hypogonadotorpic hypogonadism is a heterogeneous disease which is often accompanied by a variety of non-reproductive congenital phenotypes such as anosmia, synkinesia, deafness, renal or limbs malformations. The combination of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with congenital defects is crucial to early diagnosis.Result: Our patient is a 13,5-year-old boy. He was born at 39-40 weeks of gestation, birth length was...

Background: Pseudohypoparathypoidism (PHP) type 1A is a rare endocrine disorders caused by GNAS mutation. Patients phenotype with PHP type 1A include obesity, round facies, brachydactyly, subcutaneous ossifications, short stature. The resistance of action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) leads to hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcaemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Hypercalcitoninaemia has been described in limited patients with PHP without thyroid patholog...
