Patients with 17?-hydroxylase deficiency (17 OHD) usually present with tall stature and eunuchoid features, rather than growth retardation. However, unlike the classic form of the disease, short stature due to a lack of pubertal growth spurt and sex hormone deficiency was present in our four cases. We wanted to emphasize that short stature might be the cause of first presentation in patients with 17 OHD. Cases. We report five patients of Kurdish origin with 17 OHD, four of whom had short stature; two presented because of short stature and two were detected as having short stature. The external genitalia had a female appearance and was prepubertal in all cases. Hypertension was also detected in four of the patients. Serum biochemical and hormonal analyses were performed for each patient. Laboratory data suggesting severe growth hormone (GH) deficiency were obtained from one patient, while the other had a familial history suggesting constitutional delay of growth and puberty (CDGP). Whole exome sequence analysis of the CYP17A1 gene was performed on all patients. STR fragment analysis and multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis was also performed to detect mutations associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in the CYP17A1 gene. No mutation was detected in the whole exome sequence analysis of the CYP17A1 gene in all five patients, although wide deletions were identified in the 1st–6th exons of this gene at MLPA analysis. Conclusions. Patients with 17?-hydroxylase deficiency can present with short stature because they have no pubertal growth spurt during adolescence. Therefore, 17 OHD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with delayed puberty and short stature.Öğe BASAL CELL NEVUS (GORLIN) SYNDROME WITH A NOVEL HETEROZYGOUS DELETION FRAMESHIFT MUTATION (C.959DELC, P.VAL322 PHE FSX2) IN THE PTCH1 GENE ASSOCIATED WITH EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE, ODONTOGENIC KERATOCYSTS AND WITHOUT SKIN LESIONS AND FALX CEREBRI CALCIFICATION(Medecine Et Hygiene, 2016) Akaltun, A.; Eröz, Recep; Doğan, Mustafa; Bolu, Semih; Önder, Halil İbrahim; Onbaş, O.; Kocabay, Kenan…Öğe Bilateral Sprengel Deformite, Konjenital Tek Taraflı Böbrek Agenezisi, MEFV Geninde M680İ (GC)Heterozigot Mutasyonu Olan Klippel-Feil Sendromlu Yedi Yaşında Bir Kız Olgu(2017) Doğan, Mustafa; Bolu, Semih; Yüce, Hüseyin; Eröz, RecepKFS, kısa boyun, düşük arka saç çizgisi ve boyun hareketlerini kısıtlayan servikal vertebraların füzyonuyla karakterizedir. Biz bilateral Sprengel deformiteli, konjenital tek taraflı böbrek agenezisi ve MEFV gen mutasyonu olan bir bayan KFS'li vakayı sunduk. Hastanın fizik muayenesi, rutin biyokimyasal, radyolojik değerlendirilmesi yapıldı ve aile öyküsü alındı.

Peripheral resistance development may occur as a result of mutations in the mineralocorticoid receptor or epithelial sodium channel; it can also develop as a secondary to infection, uropathy and receptor resistance due to drug use. Type 1 PHA is inherited as both autosomal dominant (sporadic-renal form) and autosomal recessive (systemic form). Systemic pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 is autosomal recessive and the most severe form. Loss of function in one of the three subunits of the epithelial sodium channel (EnaC) is responsible for the disease (the alpha subunit (SCNN1A; 12p13), the beta subunit (SCNN1B; 16p12.2-p12.1), and the Gamma subunit (SCNN1G; 16p12). We present a patient who was diagnosed the primary pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 for contribution to the literature, which is a rare disease and can be confused with other diseases caused by salt loss. © 2017, Duzce University Medical School.

In this study, we aimed to present the clinical findings and BTD gene molecular analysis results in the light of the literature. Material and Methods: Nine patients who were positive in heel blood screening and cases compatible with neurological, sensory, metabolic, respiration and skin findings of biotinidase deficiency were included in the study. For the isolation of genomic DNA from the participants included in the study, 2 cc of peripheral blood was taken into Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA) tubes and their genomic DNA was isolated and sequence analysis of the BTD gene was performed. Results: According to the all exon sequence analysis results of the BTD gene, homozygous c.1368A>C/p.Gln456His mutation was detected in 1 patient; heterozygous c.1368A>C/p.Gln456His mutation was detected in 1 patient; combined heterozygous c.1330G>C/p.Asp444His and c.511G>A/p.Ala171Thr mutations were detected in 1 patient, combined heterozygous c.1336G>C/p.Asp446His and c.511G>A/p.Ala171Thr were detected in 1 patient, and c.557G>A/p.Cys186Tyr mutation was detected in 1 patient. No mutation was detected in 4 patients. Conclusion: Early diagnosis and treatment are very important for eliminating the problems experienced by patients with BTD disorder and for preventing complications that may occur in case of delay.

We have presented our patients with Turner syndrome together with the reasons for application complaints and anthropometric datas with karyotype compositions for contribution to the literature. Method: DNA was isolated from the peripheral blood samples and chromosome analysis were performed in the patients who were thoought to be Turner Syndrome at Duzce University Medical Faculty Medical Genetics Department. Twenty patients who were compatible with Turner's syndrome were included in the study. The complaints, height, weight, BMI (body mass index) values of each case included in the study were noted. Results: According to the results of cytogenetic analysis in our study, it was detected that 9 patients were 45, X (45%), 1 patient was 46, X, der(X), t(X,X)(p.11.2;q22)/45,X (%5), 1 patient was 45, X/46, X,del(X)(p.11.2) (%5), 1 patient was 45, X/47,XXX (%5), 4 patients were 45, X/46,XX (%20), 2 patients were 46,X,i(X)(q10)/45,X (%10), 1 patient was 46,X,i(X)(q10) (%5), 1 patient was 46, X, del(X)(p21) (% 5) chromosomal composition. Conclusion: Patients with TS show different karyotype compositions, which cause different clinical manifestations in patients. The "45, X" karyotype was found to be significantly higher than other chromosomal compositions, and the most common complaint in our patient group was short stature of 60%. Karyotype analysis is important for early diagnosis and early treatment in patients being followed up with short stature etiology. Patients should be followed up with a multidisciplinary team approach on a regular basisÖğe A FAMILY FROM TURKEY WITH 761_764DUPCCGC (p.ASN256ARGFS70,c.761_764DUPCCGC) MEFV GENE MUTATION, THEIR CLINICAL FEATURES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE(Duzce Univ, 2016) Eröz, Recep; Doğan, Mustafa; Yüce, Hüseyin; Özmerdivenli, RecepFamilial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease that mainly affects Armenian, Jewish, Turkish and Arab populations and the most common and best understood periodic fever disease. The Mediterranean Fever (MEFV) gene is responsible for the disease. This gene including 10 exon and placed on chromosome 16p13.3. A family from Turkey with a total of five members clinically diagnosed as FMF are examined. All exom sequencing analysis of MEFV gene was done for all family members. According to our results, a 761_764dupCCGC (p.Asn256Argfs70,c.761_764dupCCGC) duplication mutation was detected in exon 2 of MEFV gene. Although our proband, his brother, sister and father have carried this mutation, the probands' mother has not any mutation. There is only one case with this mutation (HGMD no: CI055758) in the literature and limited information about clinical datas of the patient was shared. The proband has no family history of FMF but has chest and abdominal pain. Interestingly, the others family members with this mutation has no clinical findings for FMF. According to the PolyPhen-2 and Mutation Taster bioinformatics programs, this duplication seems to be pathogenic. Futher studies are needed to obtain more clear information about the 761_764dupCCGC mutation. We thought that this duplication mutation may give significant knowledge for future research on FMF pathogenesis.Öğe A family with novel homozygous deletion mutation (c.1255delT; p.Phe419Serfs*12) in the glucokinase gene, which is a rare cause of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus(2020) Bolu, Semih; Eröz, Recep; Doğan, Mustafa; Arslanoğlu, İlknur; Uzun, Hakan; Timur, FurkanHeterozygous inactivating mutations in the glucokinase gene cause the mildest form of maturity-onset diabetes of the adolescents. However, homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the glucokinase gene are a rare cause of permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus. Herein, we present the case of a male child with permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus whose mutational analysis revealed a novel homozygous deletion mutation in the glucokinase gene. The male proband of Turkish ancestry from consanguineous parents was born at 37 weeks gestation with a birth weight of 1870 g (<3rd percentile). Hyperglycemia developed during the first postnatal day and diabetes-related autoantibodies were negative. He was put on insulin on the first day of life.

Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY) otozomal dominant kalıtım paternine sahip ve belirgin genetik heterojenitesi olan bir diyabet tipidir. MODY'nin moleküler genetik tanısı optimal tedavi, prognoz ve genetik danışmanlık için gereklidir. Etyolojisi genetik heterojenite gösteren hastalıklar için NGS yöntemi(yeni jenerasyon dizi analizi) uygulanması en ideal yöntem olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Biz bu çalışmamızda klinik olarak MODY diyabet şüphesiyle takipli olan hastalarımızda, NGS ile genetik etyolojiyi ortaya çıkarmak ve genotip–fenotipilişkisini değerlendirmeyi amaçladık. Klinik olarak MODY diyabet şüphesi olan 35 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Aday hastalar 400 olgunun kayıtlı olduğu Düzce Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Çocuk Endokrin Bilim Dalı çocuk diyabeti veri tabanından aile öyküsü, vücut ağırlığı, ketoza yatkınlık, insülin, C-peptid ve otoantikor varlığı özelliklerine göre en uygun olanlardan seçilmiştir. Hastalardan periferik kan örneği alınarak DNA izole edilmiş ve MODY etyolojisinde ortaya konmuş olan 13 adet GCK, HNF1A, HNF4A, HNF1B, PDX1, NEUROD1, KLF11, CEL, PAX4, INS, BLK, ABCC8 ve KCNJ11 genleri NGS yöntemiyle çalışılmış, saptanan varyantlar yine NGS ile doğrulanmıştır. Saptanan varyantların biyoinformatik ve in-siliko analiz verileri, segregasyon çalışmaları ve hastaların klinik ve laboratuvar bulguları birlikte değerlendirilerek patojenitesine karar verildi. 11 hastada(%31) bakılan MODY genlerinde mutasyon saptanmıştır.2 hastada GCK, 2 hastada CEL,1'er hastada ise HNF1A,KLF11,BLK,NEUROD1, ABCC8, 1 hastada ise HNF1A,HNF4A ve WFS1 geninde mutasyon tespit edildi. Hastaların 9'u heterozigotformda iken, 1 hasta birleşik heterozigot, 1 hasta ise kompleksgenotipe sahipti. Çalışmamızda GCK geni Ekzon 5'te c.537delG ve CEL geni Ekzon 6'da IVS5-1G>A olmak üzere daha önce tanımlanmamış iki yeni değişiklik tespit ettik. Klinik olarak MODY diyabeti, tip 1 ve tip 2 diyabetten ayırt etmek zor olduğundan, monojenik form diyabeti olan birçok hastanın yanlış sınıflandırılmakta olduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Her ne kadar MODY bütün diyabet vakalarının % 1-2'sini oluştursa da, MODY'nin moleküler genetik tanısı optimal tedavi, prognoz ve genetik danışmanlık için gereklidir. Türk toplumunda MODY diyabet ile ilgili daha fazla kişiyle yapılacak olan moleküler çalışmalarla ülkemize özgü değişiklikler ortaya konabilecek, yeni mutasyonlar tanımlanacak ve genotip-fenotip ilişkilendirmeleri daha doğru yapılabilecektir.Öğe The known about next-generation sequencing (NGS) [Yeni nesil dizileme (YND) hakkında bilinenler](Duzce University Medical School, 2017) Doğan, Mustafa; Eröz, Recep; Yüce, Hüseyin; Özmerdivenli, RecepThe Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) method is based on by forming a library with a plurality of DNA fragments by cutting the base DNA with enzymatic reactions and the amplification of DNA fragments constituting the library. According to OMIM statistics, there are now more than 6,000 single gene disorders and molecular basis of nearly two thirds of these disorder is unknown. A great deal of progress has begun to be made in understanding the molecular basis of many diseases depending on the development of NGS platforms. With NGS technology, in addition to whole genomes and whole exome sequencing, a large number of genes can be sequenced for the etiology of diseases with genetic heterogeneity using target-oriented NGS panels at the same time. With the description of genetic etiology that causes diseases, patients can be given more accurate genetic counseling and family members under risk can be quickly screened. It is possible to reveal the genetic basis of phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneous diseases with the development of new generation lineage analyzes. To the best of our knowledge, there are no Turkish review except for a few English review written about NGS so far. For this reason, it is tried to present to readers what is known about NGS in this review. © 2017, Duzce University Medical School.

Several factors contribute to aggregation of chronic inflammation, including the presence of excess adipose tissue. Methods: The putative induction mechanisms of ADAMTS-5 by resistin were investigated in normal primary human articular chondrocytes. Expression levels of the ADAMTS-5 gene were determined at several resistin doses and durations. Results: Human chondrocytes were activated and associated with upregulated ADAMTS-5 gene expression after exposure to resistin (also known as adipose tissue-specific secretary factor, ADSF). Release of ADAMTS-5 leads to joint cartilage degradation, a key event in the development of arthritic diseases rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). Activation of chondrocytes was associated with upregulated NF-?B protein levels in a time-dependent fashion. Co-incubation of human chondrocytes with JNK and p38 inhibitors lead to abrogated levels of NF-?B, indicating that these MAPKs are important in the activation of chondrocytes after stimulation with resistin. Similarly, ADAMTS-5 expression levels were abrogated when co-incubated with p38, NF-?B, JNK, MEK and PI3K inhibitors.
