ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To investigate albumin (ALB) gene variations in patients suspected from familial dysalbuminemic hyperthyroxinemia (FDH).METHODS:
Eight Turkish patients were included into the study. Clinical and laboratory characteristics of the subjects and their parents were evaluated and genetic analysis were performed.RESULTS:
In genetic analysis, a previously reported heterozygous, c.725G>A variant was detected in exon seven of the ALB gene.CONCLUSIONS:
FDH is an asymptomatic condition however there is still a risk of misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Therefore, if FDH is considered, initial ALB hotspot sequencing as a rapid and simple method is recommended instead of complex and expensive laboratory and imaging techniques.Palabras clave
