Status Of Women

This article analyzes intimate partner violence (IPV) in a developing country context, namely, Turkey, which faces an enormous increase in femicide cases over the last decade. Analyzing a very rich nationwide representative survey on IPV, we show that it is not only the absolute status of women but also their relative status in terms of income and education that affects different types of domestic violence, ranging from emotional abuse to physical and sexual violence. Besides, factors related to marriage setting are found to have a significant role in the effect of women’s superior status on IPV. Overall, we provide evidence to support the relative resource theory and invalidate the intra-household bargaining model in the Turkish case.

In this study, we report the first known Turkish case of a novel nonsense mutation c.2453dupT (p.M818fs*28) in the <i>KMT2B</i> (NM_014727.2) gene diagnosed in a male patient with <i>KMT2B</i>-related dystonia (DYT-<i>KMT2B</i>, DYT-28, Dystonia*-28), which is a complex, childhood-onset, progressive, hereditary dystonia. The patient, who is followed up from 9 to 13 years of age, had dysmorphic features, developmental delay, short stature, and microcephaly, in addition to focal dystonia and hemichorea (in the right and left lower extremities). Generalized dystonia involving bulbar and cervical muscles, in addition to dystonic cramps, myoclonus, and hemiballismus, were also observed during the course of the follow-up. While he was able to perform basic functions like eating, climbing stairs, walking, and writing with the aid of levodopa and trihexyphenidyl treatment, his clinical status gradually deteriorated secondary to progressive generalized dystonia in the 4-year follow-up. Deep brain stimulation has been shown to be effective in several patients which could be the next preferred treatment for the patient.
