Introduction: Transcription factor 7 like-2 (TCF7L2) gene variants (rs12255372 and rs7903146) have been consistently shown to raise genetic risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of these variants in the development of dysglycemia (T2D or impaired fasting glucose (IFG)) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).Patients and methods: The study population consisted of 228 patients with MS who were...

Introduction: 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) is a common inherited disorder accounting for 9095% of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) cases. Some cases may be diagnosed in adulthood after the incidental discovery of adrenal masses on computerized tomography (CT).Case report: A 59-year-old male was investigated for incidentally discovered bilateral adrenal masses in an abdomen CT scan, measuring 5 cm on the right and 8 cm on the left adrenal....
