Publication Open Access Parathyroid allotransplantation in rabbits without cultivation.(2014-01-15) CAN, I; YUCESAN, E; Aysan, E; SAYITOGLU, M; OZBEK, U; ERCIVAN, M; ATASOY, H; BUYUKPINARBASILI, NUR; MUSLUMANOGLU, M; AYŞAN, MUSTAFA ERHAN; YÜCESAN, EMRAH; BÜYÜKPINARBAŞILI, NURPermanent hypoparathyroidism is a serious clinical situation. Allotransplantation of the parathyroid cells is relatively new approach to treatment. Non-cultivated allotransplantation in rabbits is not tried before. In this research parathyroidectomy was performed in six female New Zealand white rabbits. After division of surgically removed tissues into two, cryopreservation after cell isolation was done. Non-cultivated cross allotransplantation was performed under immunosuppression. Serum calcium and phosphorus levels were observed 15 days and histopathological analyses of the transplanted parathyroid tissues were studied. Significant changes in serum calcium and phosphorus levels during the experiment were observed (p=0.001 for both). Calcium levels which were significantly dropped to 6.66±0.7 mg/dL after parathyroidectomy and progressively increased up to 15.98±1.25 mg/dL at the end of the experiment (p=0.004). Phosphorus levels which were increased to 9.38±0.63 mg/dL after parathyroidectomy and stabilized to 4.46±1.06 mg/dL at the end of the experiment (p=0.007). All allotransplanted parathyroid tissues showed normal tissue architecture without evidence of cellular rejection. In conclusion allotransplantation of the parathyroid tissues without cultivation may be considered as an alternative and safe approach for the treatment of permanent hypoparathyroidism.Publication Metadata only Expanding Clinical Phenotype of TRAPPC12-Related Childhood Encephalopathy: Two Cases and Review of Literature.(2020-05-05T00:00:00Z) Aslanger, AD; Goncu, B; Demiral, E; Sonmez-Sahin, S; Guler, S; Yucesan, Emrah; Iscan, A; Saltik, S; Yesil, G; GÖNCÜ, BEYZA SERVET; YÜCESAN, EMRAHPublication Metadata only Screening LGI1 in a cohort of 26 lateral temporal lobe epilepsy patients with auditory aura from Turkey detects a novel de novo mutation.(2016-02-01T00:00:00Z) Kesim, YF; Uzun, GA; Yucesan, Emrah; Tuncer, FN; Ozdemir, O; Bebek, N; Ozbek, U; Iseri, SA; Baykan, B; YÜCESAN, EMRAHPublication Metadata only Evaluation of miR-145 and miR-146a as potential biomarkers for diagnosis of Myelodysplastic Syndrome(2022-06-01T00:00:00Z) Süsgün, Seda; Baykara, Onur; Yücesan, Emrah; Kuru, Rahiye Dilhan; Aslaneli Çakmak, Başak; Yabacı Tak, Ayşegül; Öngören, Şeniz; Deviren, Ayhan; Argüden, Yelda; SÜSGÜN, SEDA; YÜCESAN, EMRAH; YABACI TAK, AYŞEGÜLPublication Metadata only Hipotiroidi Tedavisine Deneysel Alternatif Yöntem: Tiroid Dokusunun Kapsüle Edilmesi(2018-10-01T00:00:00Z) Yücesan, Emrah; Göncü, Beyza Servet; Başoğlu, Harun; Özten Kandaş, Nur; Kanımdan, Ebru; Akbaş, Fahri; Ersoy, Yeliz Emine; Ayşan, Mustafa Erhan; YÜCESAN, EMRAH; KANIMDAN, EBRU; AKBAŞ, FAHRİ; ERSOY, YELIZ EMINEAmaç: Hipotiroidi tüm yaş gruplarında görülebilen, bireylerin sağlıklarının genel olarak bozulmasına neden olan klinik bir tablodur. Tedavisi genellikle yaşam boyu ilaç kullanımıdır. Bu tedaviye rağmen hormon yetmezliğine bağlı semptomlar görülmekte ve uzun dönem ilaç kullanımına bağlı yan etkiler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Hastalardaki yetersiz tiroid hormon miktarını optimum sınırlara çekmek ve hastaların yaşam kalitesini yükseltmek için tiroid dokusu transplantasyonu alternatif bir yöntem olarak önem taşımaktadır. Sunulan çalışmada, transplantasyonda immün redden etkilenmemek için hem doku kültürü hem de biyouyumlu polimerle kapsüle edilmiş tiroit dokusunun in vitro optimizasyonu amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Mekanik yollarla kültüre edilen tiroid dokusu 2 grupta takip edilmiştir; doku kültürü ve kapsülasyon kültürü. In vitro ortamda 60 gün boyunca takip edilen kapsüllerin morfolojileri ışık mikroskopu ile birlikte T3 ve T4 hormon değerleri ise biyokimyasal olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: 3., 9., 12., 15., 30., 45., 60. günlerde toplanan medyum örneklerinden T3 ve T4 seviyeleri gözlemlendi. Kapsüle edilen dokularda, kapsüle edilmeyenlere ve negatif kontrol dokularına göre 15. gün itibariyle T3 değerleri daha yüksek bulundu. Buna rağmen T4 seviyeleri 60 gün boyunca sabit kaldı. Sonuç: Hipotiroidinin kalıcı tedavisi için kapsüle edilen tiroid dokularının in vitro ortamda verimliliği incelenmiştir. Öncül sonuçlarımız umut vaat etmesine rağmen bu optimizasyonun in vivo hayvan çalışmalarında da doğrulandıktan sonra insan çalışmalarına geçilmesi düşünülmelidir.Publication Metadata only Paratiroit Nakli İmmünolojisi(2019-04-01T00:00:00Z) Ayşan, Mustafa Erhan; Göncü, Beyza Servet; Yücesan, Emrah; GÖNCÜ, BEYZA SERVET; YÜCESAN, EMRAHParatiroit nakli, kalıcı hipoparatiroidinin tek tedavi seçeneğidir. Diğer organ nakillerinde olduğu gibi greft fonksiyonunun artırılması için alıcı-verici uyumu paratiroit nakli için de çok önemlidir. Paratiroit nakli (bazı özel vakalar dışında) doğası gereği immünsupresyonsuz olarak gerçekleştirilmek zorunda olduğu için başarılı nakiller yapmak oldukça güçtür. Bu güçlüğü aşabilmek için elimizde güvenilir parametreler olmalıdır. İlk paratiroit naklinin yapılmasından günümüze kadar geçen yaklaşık 100 yıl içinde ne yazık ki A, B, 0 uyumu dışında üzerinde konsensus sağlanan bir kriter yoktur. Literatürde bu konudaki bilgi miktarı yetersiz olduğu gibi üstelik var olan bilgilerin doğruluğu da şüphelidir. Konu üzerinde daha fazla çalışma yapılmalıdır. Bu gerçekleşene kadar paratiroitte immünsüpresyon yapılmaksızın yüksek başarı oranıyla ve uzun greft fonksiyonu gösteren allo-nakiller yapmak zor görünmektedir.Publication Open Access Investigating differential miRNA expression profiling using serum and urine specimens for detecting potential biomarker for early prostate cancer diagnosis(2021-02-08T00:00:00Z) Hasanoğlu, Sevde; Göncü, Beyza Servet; Yücesan, Emrah; Atasoy, Sezen; Kayali, Yunus; Özten Kandaş, Nur; GÖNCÜ, BEYZA SERVET; YÜCESAN, EMRAH; ATASOY, SEZENBackground/aim: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are known up-to-date candidate biomarkers for several diseases. In addition, obtaining miRNA from different body fluids such as serum, plasma, saliva, and urine is relatively easy to handle. Herein we aimed to detect miRNAs as biomarkers for early stage prostate cancer (PC). For this purpose, we used urine and serum samples to detect any significant differences in miRNA profiles between patients and healthy controls. Materials and methods: Total ribonucleic acid (RNA) in urine and serum samples were isolated from eight untreated PC patients, thirty healthy individuals were screened for miRNA profile, and candidate miRNAs were validated. Whole urinary and serum miRNA profile was analyzed using Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Arrays. Candidate miRNAs were investigated by stem-loop reverse transcription- polymerase chain reaction. Results: When we analyzed the urinary samples of PC patients, 49 miRNAs were detected to be upregulated and 14 miRNAs were found to be downregulated when compared with healthy controls. According to the serum samples, 19 miRNAs were found to be upregulated, and 21 miRNAs were found to be downregulated when compared with healthy individuals as well. Interestingly, we detected only four overlapping miRNAs (MIR320A, MIR4535, MIR4706, MIR6750) that commonly increase or decrease in both serum and urine samples. Among them, MIR320A was found to be downregulated, and MIR4535, MIR4706, and MIR6750 were found to be upregulated for urine samples. However, only MIR6750 was upregulated and the other three miRNAs were downregulated for serum samples. Conclusion: Notably, the expression profile of MIR320A was significantly altered in urine specimens of prostate cancer patients. We considered that MIR320A has been evaluated as a valuable biomarker that can be used in the early diagnosis of PC.Publication Metadata only Exon-disrupting deletions of NRXN1 in idiopathic generalized epilepsy.(2013-02-01T00:00:00Z) Møller, RS; Weber, YG; Klitten, LL; Trucks, H; Muhle, H; Kunz, WS; Mefford, HC; Franke, A; Kautza, M; Wolf, P; Dennig, D; Schreiber, S; Rückert, IM; Wichmann, HE; Ernst, JP; Schurmann, C; Grabe, HJ; Tommerup, N; Stephani, U; Lerche, H; Hjalgrim, H; Helbig, I; Sander, T; EPICURE, Consortium.; YÜCESAN, EMRAHPublication Metadata only The rare rs769301934 variant in NHLRC1 is a common cause of Lafora disease in Turkey.(2021-06-11T00:00:00Z) Haryanyan, Garen; Ozdemir, Ozkan; Tutkavul, Kemal; Dervent, Aysin; Ayta, Semih; Ozkara, Cigdem; Salman, Baris; Yucesan, Emrah; Kesim, Yesim; Susgun, Seda; Ozbek, Ugur; Baykan, Betul; Ugur Iseri, Sibel A; Bebek, Nerses; YÜCESAN, EMRAH; SÜSGÜN, SEDAPublication Open Access Gene Hunting Approaches through the Combination of Linkage Analysis with Whole-Exome Sequencing in Mendelian Diseases: From Darwin to the Present Day(2021-07-08T00:00:00Z) Susgun, Seda; Kasan, Koray; Yucesan, Emrah; SÜSGÜN, SEDA; YÜCESAN, EMRAHBackground: In the context of medical genetics, gene hunting is the process of identifying and functionally characterizing genes or genetic variations that contribute to disease phenotypes. In this review, we would like to summarize gene hunting process in terms of historical aspects from Darwin to now. For this purpose, different approaches and recent developments will be detailed. Summary: Linkage analysis and association studies are the most common methods in use for explaining the genetic background of hereditary diseases and disorders. Although linkage analysis is a relatively old approach, it is still a powerful method to detect disease-causing rare variants using family-based data, particularly for consanguineous marriages. As is known that, consanguineous marriages or endogamy poses a social problem in developing countries, however, this same condition also provides a unique opportunity for scientists to identify and characterize pathogenic variants. The rapid advancements in sequencing technologies and their parallel implementation together with linkage analyses now allow us to identify the candidate variants related to diseases in a relatively short time. Furthermore, we can now go one step further and functionally characterize the causative variant through in vitro and in vivo studies and unveil the variant-phenotype relationships on a molecular level more robustly. Key Messages: Herein, we suggest that the combined analysis of linkage and exome analysis is a powerful and precise tool to diagnose clinically rare and recessively inherited conditions.
