Context: Pathogenic variants in the TBCE gene, encoding tubulin-specific chaperone E crucial for tubulin folding, are linked to three severe neurodevelopmental disorders: Hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism (HRD) syndrome, Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 1, and progressive encephalopathy with amyotrophy and optic atrophy.

Objective: We identified patients with a novel, milder TBCE-associated phenotype and aimed to characterize it at the clinical and molecular levels.

Materials And Methods: We conducted splicing analysis using deep NGS sequencing of RT-PCR products and detected TBCE through Western blotting.

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is extremely rare in children and adolescent. PC is more often sporadic, but also it could be associated with germline mutations. The clinical features of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) are nonspecific in children and adolescent, which delays the diagnosis for years.

Article Synopsis
  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a rare endocrine disorder in children, characterized by excessive parathyroid hormone secretion, leading to elevated blood calcium levels, and may remain undiagnosed due to non-specific symptoms like nausea and abdominal pain.
  • A study of 49 children diagnosed with PHPT revealed common initial symptoms including fatigue and pain, with diagnosis occurring around age 15, and high levels of parathyroid hormone and calcium being prevalent among patients.
  • Genetic analysis found mutations in about 32.7% of cases, with MEN1 mutations being most common, and many patients also presented with various forms of thyroid adenomas upon surgical examination.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN 2B) is a rare variant of hereditary tumor syndromes caused by germinal mutations in the proto-oncogene RET. One of the components of the syndrome is multiple neurinomas, the early detection of  which is not always given due attention. We present a description of the case of MEN 2B, manifested in the first months of life by intestinal ganglioneuromatosis.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders requiring lifelong glucocorticoid replacement (GC) therapy. Lack of GC therapy leads to precocious puberty in boys, heterosexual development in girls, accelerated bone maturation and short final height in both sexes. In adolescence, the lack of GC therapy is the cause of menstrual disorders in girls and the development of TART in boys, as a result reducing the reproductive potential in both sexes.
