Background: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease caused by heterozygous inactivating mutations in the glucokinase (GCK) gene. It mostly presents with mild fasting hyperglycaemia. MODY2 accounts for 2%–5% of all diabetes cases. It is treated with diet only, and complications are extremely rare. We presented here a family with MODY2 caused by a novel heterozygous p.E51*(c.151.G>T) mutation of the GCK gene.<p ...

Gumeniuk Olga , Chernenkov Yuriy

Background: Pendred’s syndrome (Pendred’s disease) is a genetic disorder leading to congenital bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and goitre with occasional hypothyroidism. Cause of Pendred’s syndrome is mutations in the SLC26A4 gene. The SLC26A4 gene provides instructions for making a protein called pendrin. The pendrin transports negatively charged ions (chloride, iodide, and bicarbonate) into and out of cells.Objective and hypotheses:...

Premature epiphyseal fusion induced by a retinoic acid agonist in a young girl with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva

Hallgrimsdottir Sigrun , Nilsson Ola ,

Retinoic acid receptor agonists can have dramatic negative effects on growth and even induce premature growth cessation and epiphyseal fusion (1, 2). An 11 5/12-year-old, prepubertal girl with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva presented in our pediatric skeletal disorders clinic with the concern of early growth cessation. She had participated in a clinical trial of Palovarotene (“MOVE”, NCT03312634), a retinoic acid receptor-gamma agonist, since the age of 9 10/1...
