Abstract excerpt
This report describes an intriguing combination of the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) alleles resulting in an iodide organification defect. Sequence analysis of the patient's TPO gene showed the presence of T-deletion in exon 14 of the TPO gene (T2512del). From the sequencing pattern, this new mutation of the TPO gene was thought to be homozygous. mRNA transfection studies in which mutated mRNA was transfected to...
