Bardet-Biedl sendromu (BBS) abdominal obezite, mental retardasyon, polidaktili, hipogonadizm, retinal pigmenter retinopati ve böbreğin yapısal/işlevsel anomalileri ile karakterize otozomal resesif geçişli genetik bir bozukluktur. BBS gibi obezite ile giden sendromik olgularda miyokard infarktüsü ve tromboembolik olayların yaşamın erken döneminde gelişebileceği göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, BBS’li iki olguda kardiyovasküler hastalık yatkınlık gen polimorfizmlerinin varlığı araştırıldı. Her iki olguda da Faktör V, XIII, metilentetrahidrofolatredüktaz (MTHRF), plazminojen aktivator inhibitör 1 (PAI-1) (4G/5G), glikoprotein IIIa reseptör (HPA-1), and Apoprotein-E3/3 gen polimorfizmleri saptandı. Sonuç olarak sendromik olgularda erken dönemde gelişebilecek tromboembolik hastalıklar ve miyokard infarktüsü yönünden dikkatli olmak gerekir. Genetik yatkınlık saptanan bu olguları özellikle dehidratasyon, şiddetli enfeksiyon ve ameliyat gibi risk durumlarında sıkı izlem ve proflaksi yaşam kurtarıcı olabilir.
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetic autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by abdominal obesity, mental retardation, polydactyly, hypogonadism, retinal pigmentary retinopathy, and renal constitutional abnormalities or functional impairment. In syndromic cases with obesity such as BBS, possibility of myocardial infarction and thromboembolic events at early ages should be considered. In this study, polymorphisms on cardiovascular disease susceptibility genes were investigated in two Bardet-Biedl cases. In both cases, polymorphisms were detected on Factor V, Factor XIII, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHRF), Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) (4G/5G), Glycoprotein IIIa receptor (HPA-1), and Apoprotein-E3/3 genes. In conclusion, in syndromic cases, possibility of thromboembolic diseases and myocardial infarction at early ages should be kept in mind. Monitoring and prophylaxis may be life saving for these cases with genetic susceptibility especially during the conditions of dehydration, severe infection, and operation

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.
