Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in both alleles of the thyroid peroxidase (TPO) gene have been reported as a frequent cause of congenital hypothyroidism resulting from a total iodide organification defect (TIOD). Because TPO mutations have a prevalence of 1 in 66,000 newborns and is inherited in an autosomal recessive mode the frequency of a heterozygous germline mutation in the TPO gene should reach about 1 in 260 in the...
