Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the cell membrane thyroid hormone (TH) transporter monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) 8 produce severe neuropsychomotor defects and characteristic thyroid function test (TFT) abnormalities. Two children with mild neurological phenotypes and normal TFTs were found to harbor MCT8 gene variants of unknown significance (VUS), MCT8-R388Q that occurred de novo, and MCT8-Q212E. Normal TH transport and action...
