Abstract excerpt
Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) defects, typically transmitted as autosomal recessive traits, result in hypothyroid goiters with failure to convert iodide into organic iodine. We analyzed the TPO gene in 14 unrelated patients with clinical evidence of iodide organification defects. Seven of the affected individuals harbored mutations in the TPO gene; one was compound heterozygous, the others were simply heterozygous for...
