Introduction: Non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is one of the most frequent autosomal recessive diseases. Genetic analysis performed for genetic counselling revealed a miscorrelation with the clinical diagnosis in several patients at our centre.Aim: Confirm the genetic diagnosis of NCCAH in women attended for this condition.Materials and methods: Consecutive patients attended at o...

Introduction: Several clinical and molecular markers can be used to establish risk at the time of diagnosis in DTC. Thyroglobulin (Tg), which is essential in follow up, could be an early marker to identify risk patients. Around 25% of patients require 18 months or longer to have indetectable Tg. The presence of Tg antibodies (TgAb) invalidate the follow up of DTC via Tg and this is usually associated with a poor prognosis.Aim: To evaluate the role of Tg ...
