Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Thyroglobulin (TG) gene mutations cause congenital hypothyroidism (CH) with goiter. A founder effect has been proposed for some frequent mutations. Mutated proteins have a defect in intracellular transport causing intracellular retention with ultrastructural changes that resemble an endoplasmic reticulum storage disease. OBJECTIVE: To reveal new aspects of thyroglobulin pathophysiology through clinical,...
