Objective: AMH decreases by 30% in the first two years following puberty. Although it is known that AMH is associated with FSH and LH, the AMH response to rapid changes in GnRH is not known clearly in puberty. It has been shown that AMH levels in central precocious puberty (CPP) are lower than in premature thelarche (PT), but the levels of AMH in peripheral precocious puberty (PPP) have not been evaluated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the basal an...

Introduction: DICER1 syndrome is a pleotropic, autosomal dominant familial genetic tumor predisposition syndrome. DICER1 somatic + germ-line mutations (double hit hypothesis); cystic nephroma; pleuropulmonerblastoma, ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors, multinodular goitre (MNG) are associated with many conditions such as differentiated thyroid cancer, pituitary blastoma. We presented three cases, two of whom were siblings, who had been consulted because of no...

Aim: Recent studies have shown that the first hour glucose concentration of ≥155 mg / dL in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in adults with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) may be a strong marker for the development of diabetes, and also an increase in subclinical inflammation, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and serum transaminases. These results indicate that adults with NGT have increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholi...

Introduction: Brain-lung-thyroid syndrome (BATS) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited syndrome that develops due to mutations in the NKX2-1 gene, which is a thyroid transcription factor, and is characterized by respiratory distress in the neonatal period, congenital hypothyroidism, and choreatetosis. Approximately half of affected patients have the complete triad, with 30% affected by the neurological phenotype (motor developmental delay, gait difficulties, choreatetosis, hy...

Background: In adult studies, serum uric acid level (SUA) has been shown to be associated with cardiometabolic anomalies of metabolic syndrome such as insulin resistance, hypertension, increased carotid intima thickness, and hyperuricemia is considered as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Early cardiovascular changes in obese children and studies on the relationship between metabolic syndrome and hyperuricemia are quite...

Background: Macro TSH is a high molecule weighed complex with low bioactivity that is comprised of TSH and anti-TSH antibodies. Potentiality of macro TSH should be kept in mind in clinically euthyroid and asymptomatic patients with normal free T4 and T3 levels and relatively high TSH levels. Diagnosis of macro TSH is suspected if polyethylene glycol (PEG) precipitable TSH exceeds %75 and confirmed if high molecule weighed TSH is shown with gel filtration ...
