Abstract excerpt
The thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) is encoded, on chromosome 14q13, by the gene termed TITF-1/NKX2.1. Mutations in this gene have been associated with chorea, hypothyroidism, and lung disease, all included in the "brain-thyroid-lung syndrome." We here describe two cases of novel missense mutations [NM_003317.3:c.516G>T and c.623G>C resulting in p.(Gln172His) and p.(Trp208Ser), respectively] in...
