Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The embryonic development of the thyroid gland is regulated by the expression of several candidate genes which are related to congenital hypothyroidism. These genes include the numerous critical thyroid transcription factors such as NKX2.1, NKX2.5, FOXE1, and PAX8. The molecular analysis of these loci will be essential to the explanation of the participation of these transcription activators in the...
