Abstract excerpt
One of the steps in thyroid hormone biosynthesis is the generation of hydrogen peroxide by dual oxidases (DUOX). Only one study reported mutations in DUOX2 gene in congenital hypothyroidism (CH) associated with total iodide organification defect (TIOD) in homozygosity or with partial iodide organification defect (PIOD) in heterozygous patients. We report genetic and phenotypic characterization of a family...
