Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Type 2 deiodinase gene (DIO2) polymorphisms have been associated with changes in pituitary-thyroid axis homeostasis. The -258A/G (SNP rs12885300) polymorphism has been associated with increased enzymatic activity, but data are conflicting. To characterize the effects of -258A/G polymorphism on intrathyroidal thyroxine (T(4)) to triiodothyronine (T(3)) conversion and thyroid hormone (TH) secretion...
