Abstract excerpt
The SLC26A4 genomic sequence screening in autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITD) revealed different variants types with possible pathogenic effects. Although intronic variants may have more detrimental effects than those coding, they are poorly explored. Thus, in a first assessment, our bioinformatics analysis of intronic variants predicted a pathogenic effect of c.1002-9A>C, c.1545-5T>G and c.1544+9C>T variants....
