Abstract excerpt
We identified a new nonsense mutation of the TSH-beta subunit gene responsible for a severe isolated TSH deficiency in two children from the same consanguineous kindred. These affected children are homozygous for a C-to-T transition at nucleotide 654 of the TSH-beta subunit gene, leading to the conversion of a glutamine (CAG) to a premature stop codon (TAG) in the codon 49 (Q49X). The resulting nascent peptide...
