Article Synopsis
- - Mitochondrial diabetes mellitus (MDM) is a rare type of diabetes caused by mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to varied symptoms that can be easily misdiagnosed; accurate diagnosis is vital for effective treatment and case reporting.
- - A young woman with sensorineural hearing loss was diagnosed with MDM after genetic testing revealed a specific mitochondrial DNA mutation (A3243G) and a family history of similar health issues.
- - The case emphasizes the importance of recognizing MDM's unusual clinical signs, the role of thorough physical examinations and genetic testing, and the need for clinicians to be aware of MDM to avoid misdiagnosis.
Context: How lymph node metastasis (LNM)-associated mortality risk is affected by BRAF V600E in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) remains undefined.
Objective: To study whether BRAF V600E affected LNM-associated mortality in PTC.
Design, Setting, And Participants: We retrospectively analyzed the effect of LNM on PTC-specific mortality with respect to BRAF status in 2638 patients (2015 females and 623 males) from 11 centers in 6 countries, with median age of 46 [interquartile range (IQR) 35-58] years and median follow-up time of 58 (IQR 26-107) months.
