Amounts of tissue magnesium and some trace elements in cats with mammary tumors related to various clinicopathological parameters.

Background: Mammary tumors are one of the major malignancies seen in cats. Researchers have indicated the similarity between the epidemiological and clinicopathological patterns of feline mammary tumors and human breast cancer (HBC). In recent years, the investigation of trace elements in cancer tissues becomes prevalent in HBC due to the role of these elements in biochemical and physiological processes.

Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic Variant Patients with Breast, Ovarian, and Other Cancers.

The demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who have pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants may differ from their relatives who had related cancer. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the clinical and demographic findings of patients who had -related cancer and to assess the differences comparing their relatives who had -related cancer with breast, genital tract, prostate, and pancreas cancers as well. The results of sequencing analysis of 200 cancer patients (190 women, 10 men) who have been directed to genetic counseling with an indication of testing from different regions across 9 medical oncology centers were retrospectively analyzed.

Genotype of congenital adrenal hyperplasia patients with testicular adrenal rest tumor.

Unlabelled: Testicular adrenal rest tumor (TART) is one of the important complications that can cause infertility in male patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and should therefore be diagnosed and treated at an early age. The factors that result in TART in CAH have not been completely understood. The aim of this study is to evaluate the genotype-phenotype correlation in CAH patients with TART.

Clinical Characteristics and Growth Hormone Treatment in Patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome.

Objective: To investigate clinical characteristics and response to growth hormone (GH) treatment in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in Turkey.

Methods: The data of 52 PWS patients from ten centers was retrospectively analyzed. A nation-wide, web-based data system was used for data collection.

Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Patients with Corticosterone Methyloxidase Deficiency Type 2: Novel Mutations in .

Corticosterone methyloxidase deficiency type 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder presenting with salt loss and failure to thrive in early childhood and is caused by inactivating mutations of the gene. Herein, we describe four Turkish patients from two families who had clinical and hormonal features compatible with corticosterone methyloxidase deficiency and all had inherited novel variants. All of the patients presented with vomiting, failure to thrive and severe dehydration, except one patient with only failure to thrive.

Incidence of Type 1 Diabetes in Children Aged Below 18 Years during 2013-2015 in Northwest Turkey.

Objective: To assess the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in children under 18 years of age in the northwest region of Turkey during 2013-2015.

Methods: All newly diagnosed T1DM cases were recorded prospectively during 2013-2015. Total, as well as gender and age group specific (0-4, 5-9, 10-14 and 15-17 age) mean incidences per 100,000 per year were calculated.
