Wolfram sendromu; diabetes mellitus, optik atrofiye diabetes insipitus ve işitme kaybının eklenmesiyle karakterize, otozomal resesif kalıtım gösteren bir hastalıktır. Wolfram sendromunda kanamaya eğilim bildirilmiş olmakla beraber tromboza yatkınlık ile ilgili bir bilgi mevcut değildir. Wolfram sendromu tanısıyla takipli tekrarlayan tromboz atakları olan iki kız kardeş sunulmuştur. Wolfram sendromu olan iki kız kardeş (13 ve 12 yaşlarında) her seferinde trombozla sonuçlanan venovenöz fistül açma girişimleri sonrası kliniğimize yönlendirilmişlerdi. Hastaların tromboza eğilim yönünden tetkikleri yapıldı. Anti-trombin III, protein C ve S, lipoprotein (a), lupus antikoagülanı, antikardiyolipin IgG ve IgM düzeyleri normal sınırlardaydı. Genetik incelemede faktör V Leiden 1691 G>A ve faktör II (protrombin) 20210 G>A her iki hastada da homozigot normal, MTHFR C677T ise her iki hastada da heterozigot idi. Yeterli heparinizasyon sağlandıktan sonra herhangi bir tromboz atağı gözlenmedi. Daha önce Wolfram sendromu ve tromboza eğilim birlikteliği bildirilmemiştir. Tromboza eğilim çoklu fenotipi olan bir genetik hastalık olan Wolfram sendromunun yeni bir bulgusu olabilir.
Wolfram syndrome is a genetic condition, which is inherited in autosomal recessive form and characterized by the combination of diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, diabetes insipidus and deafness. Bleeding tendency in Wolfram syndrome was noted but a predisposition to thrombosis has not been reported previously. We present two siblings with Wolfram syndrome and recurrent thrombosis. Two girls (13 and 12 years old) with Wolfram syndrome were referred to our clinic because of recurrent thrombotic attacks after each attempt to open venovenous fi stulas. Tests were performed to determine the patients’ predisposition to thrombosis. Anti-thrombin III, protein C and S, lipoprotein (a), lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin IgG and IgM were within the normal range. Genetic analysis showed that factor V Leiden 1691 G>A and factor II (prothrombin) 20210 G>A were homozygous normal and MTHFR C677T gene mutation was heterozygous for each patient. No thrombosis attack was observed after adequate heparinization. Predisposition to thrombosis is a newly feature in Wolfram syndrome, as thrombosis with this syndrome has never been reported

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
