Anterior Pituitary Aplasia in an Infant with Ring Chromosome 18p Deletion
We present the first reported case of an infant with 18p deletion syndrome with anterior pituitary aplasia secondary to a ring chromosome. Endocrine workup soon after birth was reassuring; however, repeat testing months later confirmed central hypopituitarism. While MRI reading initially indicated no midline defects, subsequent review of the images confirmed anterior pituitary aplasia with ecto...
متن کاملA de novo Deletion of Chromosome 18p With Persistent Limb Tremor and Difficulty Speaking: A Case Report
The common causes of 18p deletion syndrome are spontaneous errors in the chromosomal structure in the early stages of human embryonic development. In this study, a 29-year-old girl was introduced with the features of deletion of chromosome 18. In addition, GTG banding karyotype revealed that this case had a deletion involving the short arm of chromosome 18. In comparison with the usual phenotyp...
متن کاملRing chromosome 13 in an infant with ambiguous genitalia.
Ring chromosome is a rare chromosomal abnormality. We report a case of ring chromosome 13 associated with ambiguous genitalia. Karyotype is the important investigation in the evaluation of a case with ambiguous genitalia and chromosomal analysis should not be limited to only presence of X and Y chromosomes.
متن کاملRheumatoid arthritis in an adult patient with mosaic distal 18q-, 18p- and ring chromosome 18
Ring chromosome 18 has a highly variable phenotype, depending on the extent of distal arm deletions. It is most commonly presented as a combination of 18p- and distal 18q- syndrome. IgA deficiency and autoimmune diseases have been previously described in these patients. Seven cases of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) have been reported. Here we report the first case of late onset rheumatoid ...

type transthyretin as well as other fibrillar proteins. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of vitreoretinal amyloidosis in the absence of transthyretin mutations. In addition, no signs of systemic amyloidosis suggestive of FAP were evident 7 years after the patient’s initial presentation, although we cannot exclude the possibility of a subclinical level of amyloid deposition in oth...
