Congenital Hypothyroidism due to Oligogenic Mutations in Two Sudanese Families

Abstract excerpt

Dyshormonogenic congenital hypothyroidism (CH) generally results from biallelic defects in thyroid hormone synthesis genes. Whole exome sequencing allows easier identification of multiple gene defects. Two Sudanese families with CH resulting from oligogenic defects identified by whole exome sequencing are presented. In family 1, the proposita with CH and goiter was heterozygous for three TPO, one TG, and one...
