Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: PAX8 is a transcription factor required for thyroid development, and its mutation causes congenital hypothyroidism (CH). More than 20 experimentally verified loss-of-function PAX8 mutations have been described, and all but one were located in the DNA-binding paired domain. OBJECTIVE: We report the identification and functional characterization of 3 novel truncating PAX8 mutations located outside the...
