Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The abnormal expression of certain transcription factors (NKX2.1, FOXE1, NKX2.5, and PAX8) and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) genes has been associated with athyreosis, which is a form of thyroid dysgenesis (TD). We aimed to identify candidate gene mutations in CH patients with athyreosis and to establish the genotype-phenotype correlations in a Chinese population. METHODS: The exons and...
