A Missense Mutation G2320R in the Thyroglobulin Gene Causes Non-goitrous Congenital Primary Hypothyroidism in the WIC-<i>rdw</i>Rat
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
A convincing line of evidence is being developed that the congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism and dwarfism observed in the WIC-rdw rat may indeed be caused by a primary defect in thyroid hormonogenesis. In support of this hypothesis, several recent reports have shown the presence of elevated molecular chaperone levels in the WIC-rdw thyrocytes, the endoplasmic reticulum of which was markedly dilated, suggesting...
