A Case of McCune-Albright Syndrome with Associated Multiple Endocrinopathies
McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) is a rare disorder that develops from an activating mutation in the Gs gene. It is characterized by an association with Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, and precocious puberty, Caf-au-lait pigmentation, and other endocrinopathies that result from the hyperactivity of a variety of endocrine glands. Recently we encountered a patient with MAS with fibrous dysplasia, sk...
متن کاملCeliac disease-associated autoimmune endocrinopathies.
Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder induced by gluten intake in genetically susceptible individuals. It is characterized by the presence of serum antibodies to endomysium, reticulin, gliadin, and tissue transglutaminase. The incidence of CD in various autoimmune disorders is increased 10- to 30-fold in comparison to the general population, although in many cases CD is clinically asymp...
متن کاملBehçet's syndrome and autoimmunity.
The aetiology of Behget's syndrome has long been disputed. Behget (1937) first suggested a viral hypothesis on the basis of finding inclusion bodies in scrapings from the ulcers. Sezer (1953, 1956) claimed to have isolated a virus from these patients and to have reproduced the disease, and showed a strongly positive complement-fixation reaction in other patients with Behget's syndrome. Evans et...
متن کاملRecurrent optic neuromyelitis with endocrinopathies: a new syndrome.
We report a new syndrome that we call "recurrent optic neuromyelitis with endocrinopathies" in eight Antillean women from Martinique and Guadeloupe Ocular involvement was either monocular or binocular, whereas myelopathy was acute or subacute. In seven patients, myelopathic symptoms recurred, and in six patients, visual problems recurred. Spinal cord involvement was a consistent band-like pseud...
متن کاملAutoimmunity to GABAA-receptor-associated protein in stiff-person syndrome.
Stiff-person syndrome (SPS) is an autoimmune neurological disorder characterized by autoantibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. To search for biomarkers that distinguish SPS from other neurological disorders (OND), we used surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (SELDI-TOF) mass spectromet...
