Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Thyroid dysgenesis (TD) is the main cause of congenital hypothyroidism (CH), affecting nearly 1 in 2000-3000 newborns worldwide, as the most common neonatal endocrine disorder. Paired box gene 8 (PAX8), expressed during all stages of thyroid follicular cell, plays a key role in thyroid morphogenesis by a complex regulatory network. In conclusion, the genetic mechanism of PAX8 mutant in TD is still...
