Abstract excerpt
Inactivating mutations of the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) gene are responsible for non-goitrogenic congenital hypothyroidism (CHNG). This study aimed to investigate mutations in the TSHR gene in 20 children with CHNG. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and was used for mutation screening by direct sequencing. Analyses of the TSHR gene revealed two novel variants in a 2-year-old boy with...
