Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The objective of the study was to determine the genetic basis of goitrous congenital hypothyroidism (GCH) in Chinese siblings. METHODS: The proband and her younger brother with GCH were enrolled for molecular analysis of the dual oxidase 2 (DUOX2), dual oxidase maturation factor 2 (DUOXA2), and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) genes. Mutation screening was performed by Sanger sequencing the fragments...
