A Novel Missense Mutation (I26M) in<i>DUOXA2</i>Causing Congenital Goiter Hypothyroidism Impairs NADPH Oxidase Activity but Not Protein Expression
12 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Dual-oxidase maturation factor 2 (DUOXA2) is a component of the thyroid hydrogen peroxidase (H2O2) generator, which is crucial for hormone synthesis. Genetic defects in DUOXA2 lead to an impairment of the H2O2-generating system, in turn causing congenital hypothyroidism (CH) with goiter. CASE DESCRIPTION: Our study aimed to identify DUOXA2 mutations associated with Chinese congenital goiter...
