    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Cushing's syndrome is a rare endocrine disorder.
    • Familial occurrence suggests a potential genetic component.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the familial occurrence and clinical presentation of Cushing's syndrome in siblings.
    • To explore the underlying pathogenesis of adrenocortical disorders in this family.

    Main Methods:

    • Case series analysis of seven siblings.
    • Clinical evaluation including assessment of growth and carbohydrate metabolism.
    • Histopathological examination of adrenal gland tissue.

    Main Results:

    • Four out of seven siblings were diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome.
    • Clinical manifestations appeared around puberty in three affected siblings.
    • Associated findings included short stature and disturbed carbohydrate metabolism; adrenal hyperplasia or carcinoma was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Cushing's syndrome can exhibit familial clustering.
    • Adrenocortical disorders in this family may have a shared genetic etiology.
    • Early recognition and management are crucial for affected individuals.
