Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Iodide organification defects are associated with mutations in the dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2) gene and are characterized by a positive perchlorate discharge test. These mutations produce a congenital goitrous hypothyroidism, usually transmitted in an autosomal recessive mode. METHODS: We studied the complete coding sequence of the human DUOX2 gene by single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP)...
