Abstract excerpt
Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is considered the most common congenital endocrine disorder of genetic origin. Next generation sequencing (NGS) is the standard method for identifying genetic mutations, but it is an expensive and complex technique. Therefore, we propose to use Sanger sequencing to identify selected variants of the four most common CH-causative genes: DUOX2, TG, TSHR, and PAX8. To analyze the...
