Introduction Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene variants rs12255372 and rs7903146 have been consistently shown to raise genetic risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of these variants in the development of impaired glucose metabolism (IGM), including impaired fasting glucose (IFG) or T2DM, in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS)...
Background and aim Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is thus recommended that an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) be performed after delivery. Recently, the use of glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has been proposed as a simpler and faster method to diagnose glucose disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate whether...
Pretibial myxedema (PM) is a rare extrathyroidal manifestation of Graves’ disease (GD), usually during the hyperthyroid state, coexisting with orbitopathy. We describe a rare case of a biopsy-proven PM in a euthyroid patient, without history of GD or Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Assessment of commonly reported thyroid autoantibodies, such as thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin autoantibodies, thyroid...
