AI Article Synopsis

  • Turner syndrome is linked to a higher risk of various tumors, especially thyroid cancers due to chronic thyroiditis.
  • A rare case of solid variant papillary thyroid carcinoma was found in a 22-year-old woman with Turner syndrome during chronic thyroiditis follow-up, with no history of radiation exposure.
  • Genetic tests showed no known mutations related to this cancer type, suggesting that the development of this variant might follow different mechanisms in Turner syndrome patients than previously understood.

Article Abstract

Turner syndrome is associated with an increased risk of developing several neoplasms. In particular, a clinical feature of Turner syndrome with chronic thyroiditis implies a relationship with thyroid malignancies. We report a very rare case of a solid variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma that was identified during a follow-up of chronic thyroiditis in a 22-year-old woman with Turner syndrome. The patient had no notable history of radiation exposure. No genetic mutations relating to the occurrence of the solid variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma, including /PTC rearrangements and mutations in the or , were detected by a gene panel test, namely, the Oncomine™ Dx Target test. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a solid variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a young adult with Turner syndrome with chronic thyroiditis. Our case suggests that in patients with Turner syndrome, there may be different pathogeneses from those previously reported, including exposure to radiation or known genetic mutations for the development of a solid variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Rare endocrine diseases are complex conditions that require lifelong specialized care due to their chronic nature and associated long-term complications. In Korea, a lack of nationwide data on clinical practice and outcomes has limited progress in patient care. Therefore, the Multicenter Networks for Ideal Outcomes of Pediatric Rare Endocrine and Metabolic Disease (OUTSPREAD) study was initiated.

Purpose: To identify key molecular components within the femoroacetabular impingement hip and compare the findings between male and female patients across varying age groups.

Methods: All patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) without hip dysplasia were included. During hip arthroscopy, performed at University of Wisconsin Health, loose articular cartilage, excess synovium, damaged labral tissue, and minimal adipose tissue were debrided only as needed for visualization and tissue repair purposes and collected.

Morbidity in males with 45,X/46,XY resembles the morbidity pattern in Turner syndrome: a national population-based study.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology and Internal Medicine, Aarhus University Hospital, Palle-Juul Jensens Boulevard 165, 8200 Aarhus N, Denmark.

Context: Few studies have reported on males with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. Most studies stem from pediatric settings and knowledge of natural history and long-term health outcomes are therefore lacking.

Objective: To describe long-term health outcomes in males with 45,X/46,XY in comparison to the general population.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of death in Turner syndrome (TS) for which, arterial hypertension has a direct influence and is a key modifiable risk factor.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and patterns of hypertension diagnosis and management in adult patients with TS who are registered in a large international multicentre database (TS-HTN study).

Methods: Retrospective multi-centre observational study of patients aged ≥18 years, included in the I-TS (International-TS) registry (2020-2022) utilising registry and participating centre collected data.

Anthropogenically driven environmental change has imposed substantial threats on biodiversity, including the emergence of infectious diseases that have resulted in declines of wildlife globally. In response to pathogen invasion, maintaining diversity within host populations across heterogenous environments is essential to facilitating species persistence. White-nose syndrome is an emerging fungal pathogen that has caused mass mortalities of hibernating bats across North America.
