Abstract excerpt
Congenital hypothyroidism associated with thyroid hypoplasia can be caused by several genetic defects, including mutations in the TSHbeta-subunit, the TSH receptor, the G(s)alpha-subunit, and the transcription factor PAX8. Four girls with sporadic congenital hypothyroidism and hypoplastic thyroid glands were analyzed for mutations in PAX8 and TTF2 (FKHL15). Mutations in the coding region of the TSHbeta-subunit...
