Genetics and phenomics of hypothyroidism and goiter due to TPO mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Thyroid peroxidase (TPO) is a heme binding protein localized on the apical membrane of the thyrocyte. TPO enzymatic activity is essential for thyroid hormonogenesis. Inactivating mutations form the molecular basis for a specific subtype of congenital hypothyroidism: thyroid dyshormonogenesis due to an iodide organification defect. The most common phenotype of this autosomal recessive disease is a total iodide...
