Publication Metadata only Predictors of surgical outcomes in boys with hypospadias(2022-09-01) GÜRAN, TÜLAY; Scougall K., Bryce J., Baronio F., Boal R. L. , Castera R., Castro S., Cheetham T., Costa E. C. , Darendeliler F., Davies J., et al.Publication Metadata only Venous thrombosis in a pseudohypoparathyroidism patient with a novel GNAS frameshift mutation and complete resolution of vascular calcifications with acetazolamide treatment(2023-01-01) TRUE, ÖMER; BUĞDAYCI, ONUR; GÜRAN, TÜLAY; BEREKET, ABDULLAH; Menevse T. S., Iwasaki Y., Abali Z. Y., Tosun B. G., Helvacioglu D., DOĞRU Ö., BUĞDAYCI O., Cyr S. M., GÜRAN T., BEREKET A., et al.Introduction: Pseudohypoparathyroidism type IA (PHP1A) is characterized by end-organ resistance to multiple hormones and Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO). PHP1A is caused by inactivating mutations of the GNAS gene encoding the α-subunit of the stimulatory G protein (Gsα). In line with the underlying genetic defect, impaired inhibition of platelet aggregation has been demonstrated in some patients. However, no PHP1A case with thrombotic events has been described. Also, PHP1A cases typically have subcutaneous ossifications, but soft tissue calcifications are another common finding. Treatment options for those and other nonhormonal features of PHP1A are limited. Case Presentation: A female patient presented with short stature, fatigue, and exercise-induced carpopedal spasms at age 117/12 years. Diagnosis of PHP1A was made based on hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, elevated serum parathyroid hormone, and AHO features, including short stature and brachydactyly. A novel frameshift variant was detected in the last exon of GNAS (c.1065_1068delGCGT, p.R356Tfs*47), showing complete loss of baseline and receptor-stimulated activity in transfected cells. The patient developed venous thrombosis and vascular and subcutaneous calcifications on both forearms after venous puncture on the right and extravasation of calcium gluconate during treatment on the left. The thrombosis and calcifications completely resolved following treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin and acetazolamide for 5 and 8 months, respectively. Conclusions: This case represents the first PHP1A patient displaying thrombosis and the first successful use of acetazolamide for PHP1A-associated soft tissue calcifications, thus providing new insights into the treatment of non-endocrinological features in this disease.Publication Open Access Homozygosity for a novel INHA mutation in two male siblings with hypospadias, primary hypogonadism, and high-normal testicular volume(2022-03-23) ŞAHİN, BAHADIR; DEMİRCİOĞLU, SERAP; BEREKET, ABDULLAH; GÜRAN, TÜLAY; Arslan Ateş E., Eltan M., Sahin B., Gurpinar Tosun B., Seven Menevse T., Geckinli B. B., Greenfield A., Turan S., Bereket A., Güran T.Background: The human INHA gene encodes the inhibin subunit alpha protein, which is common to both inhibin A and B. The functional importance of inhibins in male sex development, sexual function, and reproduction remain largely unknown. Objective: We report for the first time two male siblings with homozygous INHA mutations. Methods: The medical files were examined for clinical, biochemical, and imaging data. Genetic analysis was performed using next-generation and Sanger sequencing methods. Results: Two brothers complained of gynecomastia, testicular pain, and had a history of hypospadias. Biochemistry revealed low serum testosterone, high gonadotropin and anti-Mullerian hormone, and very low/undetectable inhibin concentrations, where available. Both patients had azoospermia in the spermiogram. We have identified a homozygous 2 bp deletion (c.208_209delAG, R70Gfs*3) variant, which leads to a truncated INHA protein in both patients, and confirmed heterozygosity in the parents. The external genital development, pubertal onset and progression, reproductive functions, serum gonadotropins, and sex hormones of mother and father, who were heterozygous carriers of the identified mutation, were normal. Conclusion: Homozygosity for INHA mutations causes decreased prenatal and postnatal testosterone production and infertility in males, while the heterozygous female and male carriers of INHA mutations do not have any abnormality in sex development and reproduction.Publication Metadata only Di̇yabeti̇n nadi̇r formu: mi̇tokondri̇yal di̇yabet tanisinda olgularla yol gösteri̇ci̇ bulgular(2022-05-13) GÜRAN, TÜLAY; Güran T.Publication Metadata only EP-004 maternal anti̇ti̇roi̇d İlaç kullanimina bağli konjeni̇tal guatr olgusu(2022-02-18) GÜRAN, TÜLAY; Güran T.Publication Open Access A novel deletion involving the first GNAS exon encoding Gsα causes PHP1A without methylation changes at exon A/B(2022-04-01) BEREKET, ABDULLAH; DEMİRCİOĞLU, SERAP; GÜRAN, TÜLAY; Campbell D., Reyes M., Kaygusuz S. B., Abalı S., Güran T., Bereket A., Kagami M., Turan S., Jüppner H.© 2022Individuals affected by pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A (PHP1A) display hyperphosphatemia and hypocalcemia despite elevated PTH levels, as well as features of Albright Hereditary Osteodystrophy (AHO). PHP1A is caused by variants involving the maternal GNAS exons 1–13 encoding the stimulatory G protein α-subunit (Gsα). MLPA and aCGH analysis led in a male PHP1A patient to identification of a de novo 1284-bp deletion involving GNAS exon 1. This novel variant overlaps with a previously identified 1438-bp deletion in another PHP1A patient (ref. Li et al. (2020) [13], patient 2) that extends from the exon 1 promoter into the up-stream intronic region. This latter deletion is associated with reduced methylation at GNAS exon A/B, i.e. the differentially methylated region (DMR) that is demethylated in most pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B (PHP1B) patients. In contrast, genomic DNA from our patient revealed no evidence for an epigenetic GNAS defect as determined by MS-MLPA and pyrosequencing. These findings thus reduce the region, which, in addition to other nucleotide sequences telomeric of exon A/B, may undergo histone modifications or interacts with transcription factors and possibly as-yet unknown proteins that are required for establishing the maternal methylation imprints at this site. Taken together, nucleotide deletions or changes within an approximately 1300-bp region telomeric of exon A/B could be a cause of PHP1B variants with complete or incomplete loss-of-methylation at the exon A/B DMR. In addition, when investigating patients with suspected PHP1A, MLPA should be considered to search for structural abnormalities within this difficult to analyze genomic region comprising GNAS exon 1.Publication Metadata only Change of menarcheal age in schoolgirls living in Istanbul over the last 12 years(2022-09-01) GÜRAN, TÜLAY; GÜRPINAR TOSUN, BUŞRA; HALİLOĞLU, BELMA; DEMİRCİOĞLU, SERAP; HIDIROĞLU, SEYHAN; BEREKET, ABDULLAH; GÜRAN T., Alir F., Arslan Y.

B., Yavas Abali Z., SEVEN MENEVŞE T., et al.Introduction: Thyrotropin-producing pituitary adenoma (TSHoma) is a very rare disease, representing less than 1% of the pituitary tumours, present with elevated thyroid hormones and normal/high TSH concentrations. Case Presentation: A 7-year-old boy with nervousness was referred by his psychiatrist for elevated free T4, T3 and TSH levels. Initial evaluation revealed an elevated -subunit.Pituitary MRI demonstrated a macroadenoma. The patient underwent a trans-sphenoidal tumour resection (TSS) which showed positive immunohistochemical staining for TSH, growth hormone, and prolactin in tumoral tissue. Euthyroidism was achieved for one year after TSS, then, recurrence of tumour with elevated TSH and thyroid hormone levels necessitated a re-operation with TSS followed by gamma-knife radiosurgery. The euthyroid state was achieved and lasted for 2.5 years this time, but, due to the recurrence, medical treatment had been commenced with cabergoline and octreotide. Euthyroidism was maintained for the last 4 years on monthly octreotide treatment. A repeat MRI demonstrated no pituitary mass but a mass in the sphenoidal sinus had been detected. Removal of this mass by surgery did not achieve euthyroidism. 68Ga-DOTA-TATE PET/CT showed residual tissue extending from the pituitary region to the sphenoid sinus.The patient\"s bone age was advanced 2 years at diagnosis which became 4 years in one year after the diagnosis and remained so throughout follow-up, leading to a final height of -3.3 SDS below his target height at the age of 16 years. Conclusion: The diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of TSHomas are challenging and short stature due to accelerated bone maturation is a complication of paediatric TSHomas.
