Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Inborn errors of thyroid hormone biosynthesis are collectively referred to as thyroid dyshormonogenesis (DH). Seven genes have been implicated in DH, including the dual oxidase 2 gene (DUOX2), the thyroglobulin gene (TG), and the thyroid peroxidase gene (TPO). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to define the prevalence and phenotypic spectrum of DH with single gene mutations. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A population-based...
