Abstract excerpt
Objective: Defects in the human solute carrier family 26 member 4 (SLC26A4) gene are reported to be one of the causes of congenital hypothyroidism (CH). We aimed to identify SLC26A4 mutations in Chinese patients with CH and analyze the function of the mutations. Methods: Patients with primary CH were screened for 21 CH candidate genes mutations by targeted next-generation sequencing. All the exons and exon-intron...
