JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA 14-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital after being diagnosed at a local clinic with bilateral carotid artery stenoses (Moyamoya disease) and mild thyrotoxicosis. A blood examination showed suppressed TSH and elevated triiodothyronine and thyroxine levels; however, he was negative for anti-thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAB) and thyroid stimulating antibody (TSAB). Concern about a possible thyroid crisis led us to administer thiamazole (MMI) and potassium iodide (KI), following which encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) of the left side was performed successfully. After about 1 mo, he became positive for TRAB and TSAB. He was thought to have Graves’ disease and Moyamoya disease coincidentally. Several factors are considered to be involved in the coincidental onset of these two diseases.View full abstractDownload PDF (1698K)

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRenal coloboma syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by renal lesions and optic nerve abnormalities. We report an 11-yr-old Japanese girl with familial renal coloboma syndrome, who also had Graves’ disease. Four affected family members had a previously reported heterozygous mutation (c.76dupG, p.Val26Glyfs*28) in the PAX2 gene. We hypothesized that PAX2 mutations may increase the risk of autoimmune diseases through alterations of human β-defensin 1 expression.View full abstractDownload PDF (1719K)
