Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Dyshormonogenesis due to genetic defect in thyroglobulin (Tg) synthesis and secretion can lead to congenital hypothyroidism. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to analyze the TG gene for the presence of mutations and to study the underlying mechanisms leading to dyshormonogenesis. CASES: Two siblings aged 25 and 31 yr presented with recurrent goitrous hypothyroidism with undetectable serum Tg. The...
